Lots of folks carry at the waist, either angled or horizontal, IWB or OWB, various places around the belt, with untucked shirt over it. Basically like a gun. It works for them, but of course to keep it hidden you need the cover garment, which then requires clearing, unless you don't mind open carrying a knife. Also, the same friend who knocked me down pointed out that in a close grapple situation, especially on the ground, you end up with blade VERY close to your guts. In force-on-force/ground fighting practice, we have been known to draw our opponent's knives (and guns) and use them against the owner. Things around the waist are very discoverable when grappling. Something to think about..
In reality anything you carry, gun knife, etc... you need to be able to keep control over. That's definately something to train for.
