Clipped to my left front pocket.  Smaller slipjoints such as a peanut or penknife go in the fifth pocket of jeans, medium size ones like a mini trapper go in my right pocket.  Larger slipjoints like a TL-29 or Buck 301 I usually put in my left rear pocket next to my wallet.  Easier to get to a big boy that way for me, and if I'm carrying one of them it's probably the only folder on me.  With a locking folder, the smaller slipjoints see use around customers and such.
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Well, if your definition of "classic folder" is the same as mine, they don't come with pocket clips, so my answer is simply loose in the pocket.  TBH though, I don't carry them much these days.

Pocket clips? The traditional people at BF will have a heart attack.  :D

Usually I carry them loose in my pocket or if they have some fancy/fragile scales I may use a leather sheath.

i have older, less clip-y folders, but i use the thinnest one with a clip i could find that was comfortable in my hand, because a 'pocketknife' type knife just sits wrong in the bottom of every pocket, and i don't like belt carry for a single blade; it takes longer to get the darn thing out and open.

however, when i am climbing the mast or tower full of enemies/prey, i always carry my knife in my teeth.  >:D

Traditional folder or not, I always carry mine in right front pocket without using the clip(unless I am outdoor).  It might attract too much attention in a knife-phobia city.

I scratched the poop out of a phone doing that.  My tiny brain can't handle too much thinking about what goes where.

I'm amazed at how well my work phone has held up to sharing a pocket with an MT actually, not a scratch on it.
Just a slight dent from where I accidentally threw it at some concrete  :whistle:
