Hell no, I don't like things floating around in my pocket. Clipped knives are easier to retrieve. I won't own a modern pocket knife that doesn't wave, a clip is a must.Just ditch the clip.
I'm frugal as hell, except when it comes to knivesI kind of like the wear a pocket gets from a knife. Plus, I hate shopping, so the wear is a gauge to me of when I should buy new pants.
Me likey.I've been having this problem too, and like your workaround OP. Here's another idea I'm going to experiment with, just ordered a pocket slip from Hitch and Timber, big enough to fit a good sized EDC like a PM2, Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter, or ZT 0562.

I met mine in high schoolWhere do you guys meet ladies that can sew and cook
For those that can sew it would seem a bit of leather sewed over the pocket woul be the perfect solution
It just goes over the lip, basically what you see on the outside is on the inside. Why would you need it to go all the way down?OP, what are the approx dimensions of the piece of denim that she sewed into your pocket? In other words, I assume it goes clear to the bottom of the pocket?
Been meaning to try a pair of those!Nice! I actually switched to Duluth Firehose Pants and that seems to have solved the problem. They're more expensive, but super durable.
I LOVE my 5.11 pants, my only beef with them is they stand out more than blue jeans. I once had a guy ask if I was security while standing in a hotel LOLThankfully my 5.11 work pants have extra fabric sewn in the same spot which works great for clipping a knife and a flashlight. But another thing you can do to help with potential wear from pocket clip is to adjust the tension level on the clip. The easiest way I’ve found is if I get a knife with a tight clip I clip it to an almost used up roll of duct tape. Leave it on for awhile and check it periodically. Sometimes it only takes a few hours but sometimes it takes longer. Two days is the most I’ve had to leave it on to get the clip to my sweet spot of not too tight but not too loose.
