My solution is the 5.11 Flex Defender Jeans. They have a very deep coin pocket that will accomodate most knives, also the area where you'd typicall carry a knife is reinforced, AND they have two extra pockets in the back that are good for knives, flashlights, spare mags, etc.

I wear work boots everyday, I was hoping they weren't to tight around the boot. Good to hear, I'll update when I get my jeans in and have an opinion to share.I've got a couple pair and plan on more. The only negative is they tend to bleed some but it's no biggie really. They are super comfy and look nice IMO. I got the slim and they really aren't that slim, the boot cut were too wide for my liking.

Just ditch the clip.
Fascinating. Giving up clips is as likely to happen as me picking up a random pile of feces in the woods and putting it in my pocket.1,000 amens. The knife's not eating your jeans, the clip is.
They suck right on to my jeans.
I've watched your videos, I really liked that latest knife from sam lurquin. Damn, that is a beautiful knife!In my Expierence and opinion pocket clips serve a purpose but not for me
I’m very active and I can’t tell you how many good knives I’ve lost in this carry method
I wear suits and pocket clips wreck pants and you look stupid in a suit wearing a knife with a pocket clip
Let’s also face it ...pocket clips have become the number one thing that targets that someone has a knife cops in NY love them
I carry a gun everyday and truly live by the moto of muscle memory so I carry a fixed or folder in the same place weak side in front of my hip
If it’s a folder it’s in a horizontal pouch such as this
They blend into my belt line and make them very accessible and no damage to clothing

I don't usually wear dress pants, suits or tuxedos. I can see how a pocket clip would be less than ideal for that kind of attire.
Concealing a fixed blade is illegal in my state or I would. That leaves me with folders or open carrying. A folder is more convenient for me. I find a pocket knife with a clip the easiest to access and put away. I wear jeans more than any other pant, although, I do wear overalls quite a bit. I cut a lot of trees down, do things around the farm, butcher animals, ice fish. At the house, camping, fishing, hunting I usually have my busse swatmandu or 1311. In town I mostly carry a folder clipped to my jeans. With keys, a wallet and a phone reaching in to the pocket to grab the knife is inconvenient. Pocket clips are extremely useful for me.
Edit to add: I did have a spyderco delica that was snagged out of my pocket by a sapling a few years ago.I tend to check throughout the day to make sure my knife is there, I too have a routine with where my knife is carried and in what orientation. Since loosing that first knife I have become more vigilant and not lost another to pocket snagging.
(I ended up finding the delicate in the snow)
I can dig it, a good sheath makes all the difference. If I could carry a fixed blade every where I would, hell I want to. It gets complicated if coats and what not are worn over it. And more often then not I chose the knife that will draw less attention when in town and not put me in a legal gray area, which is a clipped folder for me.This is how I carry fixed blades and yes it’s open carry and no one seems to care suit or jeans

I can remember once having a Spyderco POLICe in my pocket with a clip
I jumped on a snowmobile and went for a little run .... when I got off the knife was gone
Really bummed me out
Last time I used a clip was on a folder I wore in waste ban while I was in Disney![]()
