Most comfortable folder to carry

I have got a lot of knives and some pocket clips are just to strong.
Or the handles are to grippy so i can't clip them 1handed.

My sebenza's have good clips and are good clip carry folders.
One of my biggest folders the rukus does carry very nice also because of his low carry clip.
At the moment i carry the fallkniven fh9. The whole knives disappears in my pocket and i really like the little strong lowride clip.

So i prefer as low carry as possible and like to be able to clip them one handed.

The Kershaw 1993-2 Gentleman's Folder and the Buck 172 Mayo TNT, totally different animals, can hide in my pockets the easiest, yet include great blades. They almost melt into my pockets. I guess the Kershaw 1725SG2 or my BM 790 Subrosa, possibly my 635 mini-Skirmish, would be next. Then... that magical 710 would be in their somewhere. My 615 or 15020-1 would be down the list a bit, too.

Of course, in the everyday, ie, 'real world', I carried a Buck 110 in my pocket for years. Nowadays, I am most likely to carry a clunky BM 755 MPR as an EDC. And... my BM 610 Rukus, like the 630 Skirmish, actually has more pocket time than their mini brethren. I can't say they are 'easy carrys' - they are clunky. I guess 'most comfortable to carry' connotes, at least in my mind, that they blend into your pocket and become less noticed by you and others - at least it does to me.

All of my knives lose their clips upon arrival here.

Endura3/Pacific Salt. Thin. Light. Paring knife sized blade. Carries well in front pocket with blade to the seam. Fits both my hand and my pocket well where many do not.
 
I replaced my Ka-Bar Dozier (given to someone that needs it more) with a ... Ka-Bar Dozier...

I'm digging those.
 
I like a Spyderco FRN Native or Delica for easy carry -- light, flat, doesn't fall out of my pocket (I don't use the clips.) Works well in a wasterband for gym shorts.
 
Benchmade 940

Spyderco Centofante 3

Benchmade 710

Hinderer XM-18

In that order ;)

Victorinox Bantam Alox -- same footprint as a Cadet Alox, but thinner.

Always checking to make sure it's still there b/c it's so light and thin, it disappears.
 
I like to carry a 4" bladed folder. The benchmade dejavoo carries very well for me on account of it's very smooth thin handle. The spyderco delica and endura also carry very well.
 
Depends which pocket and which pants I am wearing haha. My Boker Subcom Titan is not noticeable in the watch pocket of my jeans but my 741 Onslaught also carries very well in a larger pocket. I usually chose what knife to carry based on the pants I am wearing.
 
For a smallish folder, I find the Seb or Kershaw Leek to carry very well. For larger folders, I haven't found anything that carries as well as a lg. Seb. The Umnum carries well, but it's wider in the pocket than the Seb (By 1/8" or slightly more, I believe).

The Seb is also very comfortable in the hand, too, at least to me.
 
The endura & delica. Light and thin you don't even notice its in your pocket.
current fave is my old 722 Pardue.

I also love the BM 722.
Out of approx 100 folders the Endura & Delica see the most pocket time.
 
If I'm using the clip, my BM 635 mini Skirmish is a comfortable EDC. With deep pocket carry any of the semi large Plus series of my VIC SAK's such as Ranger Plus or Explorer Plus.

I just picked up a Bantam and agree that it does just disappear. Of all the SAKs they do not seem to be very popular but I love the size and utility of mine.
 
For me, this one is easy! I have carried a Spyderco Police model for over 18 years. It is thin, strong, and holds a wicked edge.

For me it would be my William Henry T12BT but my original Kershaw 1510 Random task would be a close second. I have some larger blade that carry well but for the utmost ease of carry these are the two that come to mind. The WH is super light (1.6oz I think), handles are crazy smooth, and it over all very thin. The Kershaw has very smooth handles as well but it isn't as thin or light as the WH.
 
I like the Rexford differential as my most comfy carry. While its a large folder, the profile is slim, Ti is smooth going in 'n out the pocket and the lowrider clip helps as well.
