For a couple weeks I EDC'd my HookGuard with the sheath clipped to the bottom of my backpack so I could just yank the handle and it would come loose. This was really more to try out the carry system I rigged up but I did feel pretty safe.
Today I have been wearing the Chinook3 clipped to my pants. Now thats a folder ,it works with all the same back cuts and snap cuts the hookguard does. It is like a modern version of those folding bowies. I love the little hook at the end of the handle. It fits just perfect in your pocket and is very easy to get out even with a secure clip.Mr Keating put a LOT of thought into this folder.
I also usually have my trusty SS4 in my pack along with a Fenix L1P and my new Samsung Upstage.
