Most of the time I use a 30" or less blade so I can hang the saber from my belt on my waist using the covertech clip and it ends up being a few inches above the ground when I walk. If I want to cosplay with a longer saber, I attach the belt diagonally across my chest and shoulder with the covertech clip and saber saber hanging on my back. It is harder to manipulate the covertech clip that way and therefore not easy to release the saber. I don't usually carry it in my hand unless it is ignited and I am taking part in a saber walk or parade with other saber wielders. I prefer hanging from the covertech on my waist as it is easier to release and pose for pictures or show it to someone who is interested.
Thank you for the detailed description, very helpful.
