I carry mine in a belt pouch I made, or in the zipper pocket of my trousers, but I have a nagging feeling it could be safer. As it's a Vic Soldier, there's no lanyard ring so how do you carry yours?

I just throw mine into my pocket, not the safest way but I haven't really got anything else, I am going to try making a belt pouch for it though! :)
 
I have the alox farmer (its a soldier with a saw and a lanyard ring) and always carry it in my left jacket pocket of whatever jacket I'm wearing.
I used to slip it in the ticket pocket of my jeans, but it fell out in a petrol staion when I was pumping my tyres up and got scratched :( also, I had trouble getting my money out with it in there!

I made mine from an old leather belt doubled over on itself a couple of times to create the belt loop - it doesn't look much but it's been on my belt a couple of years now. The fastener is wearing a bit so I'll replace it soon, but it was simple to make.

Don't so much carry mine as lose them! I had one and liked it so much I bought another when the first vanished.

Then the first appeared again in a pocket I'd used many times and I had two. Then it was one and now it's none again.

Sure they'll put in an appearance again sometime.
 
I use a Solo and keep it in a safe pocket but suppose it's not a bulky.

The benefit of carrying a folder to me though is being able to keep it out of sight of nervous/paranoid eyes and daily fail readers :)
