Ok, so purely for informational purposes...which pocket do you carry your pocket knife in....strong-side or off-side, and why?

I carry mine (clip) in my off-side pocket, mainly because I just put my keys in my strong side pocket, sometimes my phone and my keys in a back pocket. Wallet goes in off-side front pocket too. I just never carry anything in rear pockets anymore. But lately I have been thinking about what pocket makes more sense for your pocket knife. Thoughts an opinions?

clip switchblade and if concealable a sheath knife. I had a US Divers diving knife sewn onto my flight suit and it saved me from being a POW in Laos after a nylon descent.

How you carry a knife depends on several things.

- Why do you carry a knife?
- If it is partially for self defense, have you had any edged weapons training?

For me, it is just useful in daily life.

Made this decision 40+ years ago
I was almost caught by the neighbors bulldog
Dove through the open window of my pickup just in time
Figured after that if knife is in strong hand
I could offer up my weak arm for a chew toy
And gut him with the strong

Why limit yourself? I carry 2

Most of the time I carry 2, one each side. If I ever just carry one its "off side" of gun. Sometimes I'll carry a neck knife instead of pocket.
