Largest knife that disappears in your pocket?

We all know that a tiny pen knife or even a Case peanut will practically "disappear" in most any pocket, but some larger knives have a shape that helps them feel smaller than they are.
What do you find is the largest knife, either traditional or modern, that feels pocket friendly?
For me, currently, it's a Case small saddlehorn. The roundness of it's shape makes it easy to tuck away even in a pair of slacks. The Case trapperlock even works well in the back pocket of a pair of slacks because its straightness allows it to sit on the outside of a wallet and out of the way.

CRK Ti-Lock. It may not be the "largest" pocket friendly knife, but it has a much larger blade than you'd expect from a knife with a handle the size it has. Check the blade and handle size compared to an Emerson CQC-7 and the CRK Sebenza 25. The thickness of the blade stock is significant as well.

Largest one I own that I don't even notice is there (when clipped to my pocket) is a ZT 0770CF. It is light and flat, which are typically the qualities that make knives pocket friendly.
 
Ones that come to mind are: Millie, BM 581, ZT 452 & 562.
I forget these are in my pocket during the day.

A 4" FFG blade, and at only 4oz it's hardly noticeable in pocket.
You sure wouldn't think it from looking at one.
 
A Spyderco Endura is the largest knife that will hide down in my pocket. I mean, not clipped, but dropped down inside like a regular pocket knife. The Delica is the best for this, though.
 
My combative edge M1. It has an amazingly thin pocket presence and still relatively large blade and handle. I have been very impressed with this knife, especially for the cheap price I paid for it.
 
I was shock how a cold steel voyager, large, for its size was barely noticable in my right front pocket.
 
None, becaue large and disappear do no coexist. Now I am not saying some large folders cannot be comfortably carried in my pocket (zt0562 e.g.).
 
  • Zero Tolerance 0452CF
  • Spyderco Military
  • Spyderco Pattada
  • Benchmade 710
  • Extrema Ratio Resolza
 
Largest folders I've carried, ZT0452, CKF T90, CKF Sukhoi. I know they're there but not bulky and annoying.
 
Of the knives I own, probably the Endura and BM 710. For their size, they don't seem to carry any larger than many smaller knives. I guess I would put the Rat 1 in there as well. It's a little thicker though and I can notice it a bit more. Still carries pretty small for its size.
 
Was always surprised by the Benchmade Bedlam 860's ability to vanish in my front jean pockets. Kind of regret selling that knife but it was to tacticool for me :rolleyes:
 
BM943 is so thin and light that you don't really notice it

the PM2 is also good for its size
Mans I will give an honorable mention to the ZT0801 which, while being large and heavy, takes advantage of its simple design and deep pocket clip

My Police SS is suprisingly small in pocket for such a large knife. The 94x series also.
