How do you carry your Inyoni?

I love the Inyoni and want to start carrying & using it more.

How are you carrying yours?
In the CRK Kydex with a Tek-lok or g-clip?
Something else off-the-shelf or custom?

 
I threw my Inyoni in my pocket in sheath. I was tempted to wear it as a neck knife with the handles off, but I think it may be too long for that to be comfortable.
 
Inyoni on the left with a Quick Clip in the right hand pocket. I used to just put it in a front or back pocket and it was fine, but the clip works even better.

Since this pic the Backpacker has the same clip on it now and carries just as well.

When I first got my Inyoni I wasn't so sure about the kydex sheath, but I have come to really like it.

Yeah, just got mine in today and just stuck it in my pocket. It works fine like that. I will definitely pick up one of those clips EOS One EOS One has. Thanks for the suggestion.

So how does resheathing the knife work exactly? Given the narrow target the sheath provides and how deep it would be in the pocket, I’d be afraid I’d poke myself in the thigh and bleed out. 😂

What are your thoughts on the feel of the Inyoni vs. Backpacker vs. Nyala? I've owned a Nyala in the past and while I loved it, I ultimately sold it because it just felt too big. I'd constantly try to remind myself it really wasn't by laying it side-by-side with my large Seb, but between the thick handle, blade stock, and weight, I just never carried it. I've been toying with picking up a Backpacker or Inyoni to add to my rotation and I'm having a hard time choosing. I lean towards Inyoni because I typically prefer smaller, more petite fixed blades for EDC but every time I see one next to a Backpacker I think they're pretty similar. Now seeing them both next to a Nyala I can't decide if I'd face the same feelings with either/or.

I have been meaning to write up a comparison of the three since my Backpackers arrived a couple weeks ago,. I bought one from a retailer and gave it to a close friend who I planned to give one to when I first saw a backpacker. I bought another at scalper prices on tha classifieds here.


I have been using all three in rotation since then, mostly for food prep (75%) and haven't yet written my thoughts on them.
Being recently retired, you would think I would have the time, but in fact it would have been much easier to do if I were still working !
I am under new management and my new supervisor expects more from me than my old one LoL.

I have had my Inyoni for about 8 months and have used and carried it a lot and sharpened it a couple times. I have processed several deer with it, and use it in the kitchen and BBQ area a LOT. I love it, and would buy anther in a heartbeat if I lost it.

The Backpacker may be edging it out though. Of the three, it is in the Mama Bear position, and indeed seems 'Just Right'.

It is reasonably light weight and handy. It is easy to carry, and I prefer the handle to the one on the Inyoni or the Nyala.
tasks that include
The Nyala seems bigger and heavier by a bigger margin. For kitchen work it seems overkill, but would make a great camping knife for heavy duty use I would give it there, but I haven't been camping lately.

I will write up more soon hopefully, as wel as throwing in some comparison with my Pacific that I got last week, and after using them more at the cottage in a couple weeks where my knives tend to get heavier use.

More to follow...

Did you have to modify the clip to fit the sheath? I ordered from the link provided but the holes don’t line up for the Chicago screws.
