How do u carry your shears?

Ok guys and gals,
I've got a blunt tip knife in a BC pocket, and carry it on every dive.

I bought some shears, with a "holster" of sorts that can clip to a d-ring... but I don't really want to do that... don't like the thing 'hanging' off me.

My BC pockets are pretty tight, only big enough to carry a single knife in the left pocket and a pen-light in the right pocket...

How are you guys carrying shears? Got any good photos?

I keep my knive on the BC because I don't want anything strap on to my legs or anything. Its a blunt point.

Pockets and a bolt snap (double ender). Plus a safety cover I DIY'd to keep it from opening and cutting things up.

You don't have any webbing you can use to attach the shear's sheath to your BC?

I carry my hd wreck shears in my wet/dry suits thigh pocket....the shears also have a wrist lanyard attached so I can be assured they stay in reach while I use them in case they are accidentally dropped.

The OP was asking about placement of 'shears'...do you also carry a pair of those while diving?

I put the "D" ring on mine through the cumberbum tensioner strap. I'll take a picture and post it. However don't put it on the actual cumberbun, unless you secure it to stay on the cumberbun because I've already lost one pair that way.

Doesn't carrying your knife in a tight pocket kind of defeat the purpuse? Can you get to it if either of your arms is tangled in something?
