I am a HUGE fan of deep pocket carrying knives. And I am looking to get another knife with great edc capabilities and a deep pocket clip to go with it haha.
My favorite deep carrying knife that I have owned is my Benchmade Dejavoo. The knife just disappears right in my pocket, and due to its shape doesn't get in the way of anything else in my pocket.
Looking for something similar, I was thinking about getting another Dejavoo but I want to try something with a bit more grip to the handles. ( Dejavoo can be slick at times)
Blade length: 3-4 inches
Handle material: preferably G-10, one side could be titanium.
Usage: EDC
Blade Steel: anything really, just nothing too low end
Price range: whatever it is im looking to trade anyways ( cash is alittle tight) But lets say limit is 200ish for knife's value.
If you got a knife in mind let me know! Maybe ill trade ya for it haha

My vote would go to the ZT0560. 3-3/4" Elmax steel, G-10 one side and Titanium frame lock on the back side, with the deepest pocket clip I've ever seen on a factory. Hardly any of the knife is visible from the outside- only sign is the pocket clip itself. Kershaw-guy has it for $1 below your limit. One of the best EDC I ever had. It's even bumped a sebenza25 from my pocket, for the time being anyway.
 
Both the Buck Paradigm Pro and the Vantage Pro have the clip the is held on by the butt of the knife instead of the side, which means the entire knife goes in the pocket. They both make great EDC knives, but handle them before buying if you can as some of them have some blade centering issues or a late lockup. I was able to find great examples of both though, so they are out there. I believe the Vantage Pro has the distinction of being the least expensive S30V folder on the market, and Bucks heat treat is amazing.
 
Most benchmades can be clip swapped with the clip from a contego so you can pick many models and change the clip.

I'd recommend the Al Mar mini-SERE or A G Russell's Gent's frame lock folder (similar to Acies 2) for the deep carry clip in that price range, but good luck finding one of those on the exchange FT. If you're looking to buy new, though, I've had both of those and they are outstanding for deep carry with the clips they have.
 
Lots of Zero Tolerance knives have very deep carry clilps (ZT0550, ZT0560, ZT0566, etc... all good choices).
 
I'm not really a fan of deep carry clips. That being said, I did enjoy my DPX HEST/f 2.0 quite a bit and EDC'd it for about 8 month straight before selling it (wish I had that one back). While it sat low in the pocket the grippy G10 scale made it easy to retrieve (my biggest complains about low ride clips).
 
ZT 0560 and 0550 (Gen II) have great deep carry pocket clips. The clip on the BM Adamas is quite similar to that of the Dejavoo, although mounted a little lower on the handle it still carries pretty deep considering the size of the knife.
 
I have actually been wanting to get a hest.
Looks like a good knife and the pocket clip has been really attracting me to it.

I have had a 550 before and I liked it but wasn't a huge fan.
Do you highly recommend a 560?
 
I actually have been checking out the sere 2000.
Looks like a great edc knife. But not sure if I should get one for 200 bucks haha
 
DPX HEST 2.0
Boker Federal flipper (most discrete pocket clip I've ever seen)

Pretty mich any Benchmade or anything that will accept their clips can be made deep carry.
 
i always liked the Spyderco sage wire clips they sit pretty deep, and they make it look like you just have a pen in your pocket, the Sage 2 or 3 fits your requirements and its an excellent little knife
 
If you want something a little different. The Viper Keeper has a low ride clip.
The knife itself is pretty light and slim, but it packs a lot of blade.
It will wave open too.
The Micarta version comes in stonewashed D2, they have a wood handled version too. That one comes in N690 stainless.

I have the Micarta version, like the pic...
