This has saved handles, helps to keep them in great shape, and allows me to carry more junk in my pocket without fear of scratching my knife. It only works with Levi's or pants with a watch pocket. I removed the bottom seam of the watch pocket, which allows for folders of nearly any size, only showing the pocket clip and top of knife - if it's a deep carry clip the entire knife disappears. Sometimes, I would just as soon not having a clip hanging down from my pocket and this lends itself to that. This sounds kind of simple but I haven't seen anyone else do it (duh, it could be me that's simple) but the next time you buy an EDC, and want to keep it as pristine as possible you might try it.
