surprised to see such negative feedback of this style clip, other than the price obviously. I personally love it and it functions perfectly. Nice snug grip in pocket and slides in and out effortlessly without tearing up my jeans pocket like some do. I hate almost every stock clip on the many otf and folding knives I own and always buy a clip from mxg gear if possible. Have many microtech and other otf's in the $300-400 price range so a $90 clip doesn't bother me if it works well for me. It is quite a thick chunk of titanium and I don't see it losing its retention properties like some thinner clips can do after a while. Have not had it catch or snag once using it all week at work and I am in construction carrying ladders all day and crawling in/out of tight spaces
