I EDC a folder or balisong in my right pocket, and a Leatherman Micra as a keyring in my left. But I'd like something with more functionality. And, to placate the ignorant sheeple, something more PC (for some reason, a 3" balisong is an evil "weapon", but a 3" SAK is a handy "tool").
However, I cannot find one with the features I want. I'm not talking about corkscrews and handle/hooks, I'm talking about 2 things that seem to be mutally exclusive.
Pocket clips and locking blades.
Leatherman has a couple models with pocket clips, but these don't have locking blades. I have a Wave, but it's too damn bulky to EDC (especially with keys attached).
There's many SAK models (both Wenger and Victorinox) with locking blades, but none with pocket clips.
A PSTII-sized multi would be just about right, and just about any full-framed SAK would be too. The Supertool/Wave size is too large for my desires.
I don't need all the tools to lock (although that'd be nice), but I refuse to carry a knife with a blade that doesn't lock.
I'm posting this in hopes that there's something that I've overlooked or missed in my search.
And no, I don't want to sheath carry. I don't like belts, don't wear them, and I don't like sheaths, belt or not (no offence to those who do, but I feel like a hick wearing a sheath). And I need something with a clip because I don't like having a knife loose in my pocket. I ride a bike everywhere, and things in my pockets have a tendency to find the most uncomfortable place to rest.
Thanks.
