I love my Emersons and I hate my Emersons. Show your pockets!

Ouch. Been there a few times. 5.11 makes pants that have reinforced pockets to prevent that very thing.
 
You could also take off the clip and make that lanyard longer so its easy to grab for.
 
I'll take picture of my torn up pockets but have switched to a Spyderco Sage II for ones I care about. The combination of the wire clip and smooth scales means it is easy on pants.
 
A well-used knife and a well-used pocket. :thumbup:

It's gotten to where part of my criterion in buying pants is how well they stand up to the pocket plates and wave openers on my knives. I bring my pocket knife with me to the clothing store when trying on pants; if the pocket isn't sturdy enough to wave my knife open, I don't buy 'em.
 
Strangley, my pockets are still looking alright. Maybe it's cuz I wave forward.
 
Gosh! Ya think?

Almost amazing sometimes. :D

well, i carry a few emersons as well, and my pockets are perfectly fine, so mabye the original poster hadnt tried it yet? . my pocket clips do not touch the knife handle.

i have emerson cqc mini 7, cqc mini 15, cqc 14 and none of my pockets are even worn, let alone look like a shark took a bite out of them.
