When carrying "in-pocket", I put it alongside my wallet in my back pocket. If you have loose pockets, there might not be enough tension to hold it in place. I wear Levis 569 (and sometimes 505) jeans. I also switched to a Secrid wallet which has more squarish sides to help stabillize the knife (I bought it for back pocket on other, larger knives which take up more sideways space). A trifold, leather wallet didn't keep the knife upright because the sides were wedge shaped when the wallet was full. My traditional bifold wallet would keep the knife upright, usually.
