I am right handed so I carry a left hand opening folding knife clipped inside the left hand pocket of my pants. The reason is that I figure the knife is a last ditch weapon and therefore would only be used during an actual struggle. I figure I will naturally and by instinct be using my right hand in grappling with the opponent. Therefore I will use my left hand to obtain the knife.
For instance I am grabbed from behind and placed in a chokehold. My right hand will be used in the struggle to get free while the left hand goes for the knife.
Also a left hand opening knife can always be used by your right hand anyway.
