I'm a lefty an unashamedly carry it in my LEFT hose/garter. I use my sgian dhu at Highland games quite often. When I am eating outdoor vendor food, it works better than a plastic knife. I also use it to cut duct tape, which I use for various purposes at Highland games. To unsheathe, I pull the entire thing from my hose and then yank the knife from the sheathe. No big deal.
