Also some thoughts on pocket clips. My knives inevitably get snagged on door framed, ladders, seat belts, and other things, this tends to bend and loosen the pocket clip and it is often difficult to bend it back completely to original.* As long as I am wearing jeans or thicker material for pants they all seem to hold ok after being bent slightly. If however I am wearing dressier pants or other thinner material my knives tend to become loose. I have found that pocket clips with U shaped bends like sog twitch, and darrel ralphs pockets clips are much more forgiving than those that are straight mounted.*I have managed to bend even titanium flat clips enough to cause issues.* The*U bend design can depending on*mounting and dimensions*drop the knife too low into the pocket causing difficulty with retrieval.* I have not had experience with heavier machined clips like the reeve mnandi uses or some other custom makers use, but they may also be a viable alternative to*straight thin*clips.
