      If you're carrying concealed at the moment that somebody draws a knife on you within measure, you better just go ahead and reach for whatever that dude wants to rob you for.
      It is easy to be dealt a fatal wound with most firearms, but they are not magic wands that negate external dangers to yourself, mag dump on a man at point blank range and you'll find he's no more dead when the dust settles than you are with your throat open or 4½" of steel in you aorta.

    It’s called the cavalry draw. It’s how I carry a revolver every day. Easy to draw when sitting and laying down, can be drawn with either hand, in enclosed spaces, and the shoulder does not have to be lifted as high. Cavalryman of the 19th century carried in this manner for all these reasons, but most importantly, it’s because the saber was worn on the left, so cross draw was out of the question. Famous men like Bill Hickok carried and Drew his navies in this manner. Never thought to carry a knife like this. (I always carry a small fixed blade around my neck.) but I see the benefit, and thought you would enjoy a little bit of history.

    I carry the same way for IWB*. It's the best for concealed, though of course regular belt carry at several inches lower is far faster and less awkward if you're somewhere that open carry of fixed blades doesn't cause issues. I know classic boot knives seem to be out of style these days, but I always have a dagger in my boot as a last ditch option. Hard to access, but it's _never_ noticed by anyone and will often go undetected through your basic security-guard and bouncer halfass weapons check and wanding (eg; anything short of a thorough police frisk or walk through metal detector).
    *Only when I don't have a pistol. If I'm carrying both then pistol goes either the same place or "appendix", and the knife is kept at the center of back so it's accessible to my off hand if needed and doesn't produce the unbalanced feeling of trying to carry knife and gun on the same side.

    I carry mine 100% backwards from yours, so I can draw it with the point already facing away from me, and I can draw it with a regular grip. Ice pick grips are not useful except in very limited situation‘s, and you have to be damn good at knife fighting to know what those situations are. As someone who tests many different options in the gym, I have found that to be the best solution for me. Everyone is different though, I just like that I’m not the only person who carries a fixed blade knife every day. 😁

      There may be a few states like this re knives, but not many.

    As a young man I was known to like sharp edges, loud guns, fast cars, and slow women. Unfortunately, I never used a single weapon over 90% of the times I was confronted. I also realized that pulling one usually escalated the situation. With age has come some wisdom. If you walk around looking for trouble you will definitely find it. If you avoid troubled areas and mind your own business you may never once need to draw a weapon. Knives are cool but unless you sneak up on someone a gun will usually win the day..

    All my larger fixies (Microtech Arbiter, Tops Silent Hero, Spyderco Provence) are all 6+" blades so I prefer a kydex + dangler thigh setup for them
