As my 'daily' carry setup I carry a pistol on my belt on the right side, an extra mag in my left pocket, and up until recently a Benchmade folder clipped in the right pocket. This setup works well for me for concealability and accessibility. But recently I picked up the nicest little Anza knife (http://www.anzaknives.com/) at a gun show and am thinking about carrying that instead of the Benchmade.
I'm thinking that 99.9% of the time my knife is used for utility purposes anyway so i probably don't really need a "tactical" folder, and for that other .01% of the time thats why the pistol is there.
But the problem is that I end up wanting to carry the gun and the sheath knife in the same place. It seems to fit well with the gun slightly farther than halfway back on my hip and the knife just foreword of the gun, but then every time I draw the knife, my concealed pistol is exposed.
I would just get a shoulder rig for the pistol, but it wouldn't work with my usual mode of dress. (i.e. long-ish button down shirt untucked, draped over the belt and its contents.)
If anyone else has run into this kind of problem and come up with a workable solution, i'd be glad to hear it.
