Knife pocket sacrifice

[mongomondo]

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.

bending the pocket clip back a tiny bit might help.

Strangley, my pockets are still looking alright. Maybe it's cuz I wave forward.
