I just got a Kershaw Thermite today. For $35 it seems like a cool knife. I love the stainless steel handles and Hinder Design. I am just curious, do you carry your Thermite with the carry clip up on the stainless side for tip-down carry (factory configuration) or did you switch the clip to accomdate tip-up carry. Generally I prefer tip-up carry, but I am not sure if it is safer to carry Kershaw Speed Safe knives tip-down. Any help here would be great.
 
I've always carried assisted openers tipup with the pivot down. Just in case I managed to snag the flipper and open it I would rather the spine of the blade stopped at my pant seam than open next to my business. Never had one open by accident in years of carry but just in case thats how I always carry them.
 
I just got one today, rivals the RAT I for what you get for the cash. I've had a love/hate relationship with AO knives, but this one is cool. I will carry it tip up left hand eventually.

I had read of the pocket clip screws being to short for lefty carry, and the ones on mine were. Quick call to Kershaw has some longer ones coming.
