I got my first Emerson recently, the CQC-15, and the scales are ridiculously grippy. It feels amazing in the hand, but I am afraid it would rip apart the pockets of my jeans in just days. Do you sand the scales down under your clip and have you had problems with your pockets?
 
I like the newer G-10 with a rougher texture. I really don't have any problems with wear in my pockets.
 
If you stretch out the clip so it's not so tight, you shouldn't have any problems.
 
Stretching out the knife definitely helped a bit. But the scales are nasty in terms of grip - some of my top layer finger skin is part of the G10 now after stretching the clip with my hand haha
 
I lightly sanded down both scales entirely. Literally just a few passes with 800 grit.
 
I took the clip off and rubbed both sides of the knife on an indoor outdoor carpet like you find at most work places....: ) Just right....
