Pocket Destroyers

[EDCanAdamas]

Which folding knives do you guys (and gals) have that ruin your pants pockets?

From my own experiance, the clips on the CRKT M21 and the Kershaw Thermite really chewed up the sides of my pockets.

Emerson's, although I love them so.

 

[Gavin S.]

Not a folder, but the skate tape on my Scarab tears the bejesus out of the pocket of my jeans.

By far the worst clip on a knife I ever experienced was the ZT 0560.

 

[Kwon Kwang]

Cold Steel AK-47 is the worst offender for me. Next up is the Voyager...although they are otherwise fantastic knives.

 

[benchwarmer380]

Emerson's, although I love them so.

Haha yep.

 

[evanPGH]

Boker Federal chews up my pants pretty good. However, it's a unique design that holds tight and is very discreet.

 

[Stays Sharp]

Cold Steel folders and its not even close for me. Great knives but they need to get that situated.

Gunner grip SnG. Only my denim jeans though. I wear Dickie's or similar work pants at work and those don't show any wear from pocket clips.

Second for the ZT 0560. I just rounded off the inside edge of the pocket clip with fine sandpaper this weekend to try and remedy this.

Anything with grippy G10. My Manix 2 for instance.

Bone Collector G10 is starting to mangle my pockets more than usual.

All my pants end up getting torn up at some point and when that happens I just get a small piece of denim and fix it up with that Tear Mender glue.
When I start getting multiple patches, like on the knees and such, my wife refers to them as my clown pants.

Out of the few I own, hands-down it's the Kershaw Blur with the "trac-tec" inserts. That knife will chew through pockets like M&M's.

 

[larrybar]

Mini-grip. Only real flaw in the knife.

Another vote for Cold Steel, here. Their clips are so tight and their G10 pattern on their scales is so aggressive that they actually have YouTube videos telling you how to modify the knife to get around the problem! I did the mods to my American Lawman because I couldn't get the knife out of (unclipped) my pocket without feeling like I was tearing my pocket out.

Great knife though, and that is much better to me than having a loose clip.

Kershaw Speedbump. I sold that though.

Right now the worst offender is my ZT 0200, but I love it nonetheless.

 

[JBoone]

Gunner grip SnG if you are not careful. Good thing is its not coming loose on its own

 

[NCCNC]

Zt 0200

 

[TheModernNeanderthal]

Zt 0200

I'll second this. Took a couple days and my pocket was shredded.

 

[Sulaco]

Just about every clipped folder I own tears up my pockets. Mostly my Benchmade 810 though.
