Something I've been wondering about for a while now, is where do you like to hang your belt sheath?

I'm right handed, and with a fixed blade, sometimes I hang the sheath just behind my right hip, sometimes just behind the left hip.
Sometimes I have a folder horizontally just in front of the left hip, sometimes right in the middle of my back.

What about you? How's it hanging'?

I tend to put mine on the right hip, often with the sheath sticking into the hip pocket so it's a bit more discrete and under control.

I quite dislike belt sheaths ... I either use a baldrick made from paracord or paracord made into a simple shoulder holster for under the arm carry on the left. I'm planning on making a concealex sheath for horizontal belt carry though.
 
I use the kukri on the left hip as it's big. for small knives I use a strap of some kind to allow the sheath to move with me (similar idea to some bison sheaths I've seen). I find it's more confatable when sitting down.
