Certainly do-able depending on your carry method. I used to EDC a Ka-Bar TDI (smaller version) with a IWB kydex sheath with a j-hook until I got my job where I needed something a little more discrete.

I tried other carry methods with knives similar to what you posted, and I just didn't like it. The Ka-Bar is a great knife and I still carry it, just not most of the time due to my job. Normally I'm just rocking a small, folding Buck with a liner lock. It's cheap, easy to sharpen, and I don't mind loaning it out to my coworkers to do God knows what they might subject it to.

Curious, does the sheath seem to get in the way? Or are there other options for carrying?

Real estate on my belt is lacking.

How do you carry yours Jared? Is it easy to carry IWB or is there a better or easier way to carry it? Did you use paracord on the handle or buy scales for it?
