How do you carry your traditionals?
Latley, there's been some discussion in other threads where a unique method of carry is shown. I used to simply carry one knife, but BF has opened my eyes that there's opportunity to carry a few if so desired.
Sheaths, right front pocket, neck, boot, watch pocket, back pocket, lanyard to belt, lanyard to slip, are some that come to mind. I've several patterns now in my collection and notice that some will not get carried if I don't have a comfortable "carry system" for them.
The full-sized trapper is a case in point (notice how I got the opportunity for two puns in that statement
). Anyway, I recently learned here about a great back pocket carry method. Simply modify the pocket by sewing a seam down the middle, a little toward the outside.

The knife is held vertically, doesn't hamper sitting and is easily retrieved via a lanyard (a mod I did and will do on other trappers I pick up). I've since sewn three pairs of pants like this and will likely carry other large knives more often now.
So how about you?
Is there a unique carry method you can share with us? What type of pants do you buy now that you're a knife-nut? And how many knives do you typically carry?
