Do you mind a knife only has one Pocket clip position?

Only when its tip up right hand. I don't wear folders on my left side anymore, that's where fixed blades go:D
 
If I like the knife enough, I'll buy it regardless of clip position. However, I like to be able to switch the clip from left to right (tip up or tip down aren't a huge issue for me). I hate it when an otherwise perfectly ambidextrous knife is set up for right side carry only (like my BM Onslaught).
 
It doesn't bother me either way. I ususally leave the clip where it is when I get it anyway. It doesn't really factor in to my decision
 
Tip up, right side carry...that's all that matters to me. 4 way pocket clips and, by extension, lanyard holes are probably the only two things I don't consider at all when looking at a new knife to buy. If I get them, great! If not...great!
 
If it's the carry position I want (and especially if there is a deep carry clip available), then I don't have a problem with only one option.
 
I prefer a knife to be drilled for only tip-up right-hand carry. I don't move it and don't like a bunch of extra holes on the scales. Sorry lefties!

That being said my favorite knife right now is a spyderco military and it's tip down only so it won't keep me away from a knife I really want.

Same here.
I prefer tip up, and only have one knife that is tip down(Military), but it doesn't bother me one bit on a folder that large.
I kind of hope the Military 2 won't have holes all over the handle, but have a feeling it will.

Yep.
Unless the knife can be tip up, right handed, I won't buy it.

I only buy knives that are completely one-hand operation meaning they must have a clip, some means of opening the blade one-handed and some means of closing the blade one-handed. Most of the time I use the knife one-handed so I prefer tip-down since it is so much faster to draw and open the knife that way. I do own some knives that are tip-up because I like the style, but that bothers me a little bit when I carry them. I never switch the clips to left-hand carry so I don't need the holes on that side.
 
Not on every knife, but on some of 'em that are drilled for 4-way (like on my delica and on my rat -1&2) I have the clip tip-up right hand and have the 3 other sets of holes filled with glow epoxy.
 
I prefer it on some knives. The more holes in the handles the more dirt and other junk gets inside.
 
I much prefer a tip down arrangement, but tip up is OK too. As has been mentioned earlier, I prefer a knife without a lot of holes drilled into it. See the Military.

I can't stand tip down carry. I won't buy a knife if that's the only option.

+1. It is pretty much a deal breaker.

I carry tip up, right hand carry. I don't care if it is drilled on either side for tip up or tip down. I just wanna be able to carry right hand tip up.
 
As long as it's RH, tip up I prefer only having that one option. I personally hate it when folders have holes drilled everywhere for different positions but I understand that others find it useful.
