Your Kirpan should be anywhere on your waist. However it shouldnt be dangling down, when you run it shouldn't bounce to far from your body . If you have the adjustable gatra, you should tighten it to a spot where it is easiest for you to reach. Personally, I think it's better to keep the Kirpan on a gatra, because the you will forget where you kept it. If you are talking about those police style utility belts , then maybe we should give it a try and see if it has any problems. Otherwise if you are using a normal belt for trousers/pants , then I don't think it would stay there and it might keep falling out. This might only work with modern style combat knives like a K-BAR or something.
