  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

On clips

Well, getting there.:) It's not just the knife, it's the whole EDC setup - if you wanna carry a big knife (or 4 knives, or 5 or whatever ;)), you need less of the other stuff, or big pockets, or both. Getting my wallet and keys and flashlight and such figured out over the last few years helped clarify what kind of knife would work for me.

I recently acquired a Lionsteel Warhorse, and that seems to fit into my setup about right. Mini Grip (sans clip) still sees some use, and my old Buck 303 still sees some use, but if I had to only have one, the Warhorse would be a great choice for me. So I think I'm close to having it figured out - but not quite 100% yet.

And a full size Griptilian plus a SAK Cadet meet
my needs but not my desires.

I carry a Grip because it works for my ergonomic needs but, there are many things about it I don’t like.

As for the Cadet, it is just a little to small for my liking. On paper I prefer the Soldier/Pioneer but, the Cadet is easier on my nails so I carry it instead.
 
I dont understand how you folk keep pulling clipped knives out of your pockets. You need to all start clipping your keys to a belt loop, like good honest people.
