Trip Wire:

I don't have a tripod, so I can't take these pictures in reference to draw from pocket...but I'll give you an idea of hand/knife positioning as it works for me during my draw from pocket. I realize your fingers may have lost some of their range of motion, but this will give you some frame of reference.



Picture 1:

My hand position on knife as I index it in pocket.

Picture 2;

My repositioned hand position as I prepare to draw.
Notice how the pocket clip actually provides the fingers with a surface to grip against to secure a solid hold, as opposed to merely creating friction against the frame.

Picture 3:

Same hand position as I draw to meet "wave" with pocket edge.

Picture 4:

Hand position as knife begins to clear pants and blade begins to deploy.

Picture 5:

Hand position as knife is fully deployed and clear of pants/body.

Picture 6:

Hand repositioned to fighting grip.

Hope this is some help to you!!!
