Help!
(I posted this in a CRKT thread but no-one has been able to help...)

I've fallen out with my M16-SF!
M16-SF is a liner lock without a closing detent of any kind. The twin flipper design means it easily gets levered open while clipped to your pocket and that Tanto blade sure has a mean point. Even as an off-clip pocket carry it has to be kept "sunny side up" or you get more surgery than you expected.

Even getting into the car with this thing in your pocket has become too much of an adventure for me!

Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong or how to carry it safely? I think a sheath is the only viable option. It's a real pity there's no safety, or that the LAWKS can't be set to secure the knife CLOSED.
