Who makes some? I know of the Spyderco UKPK and Pingo and the Enzo PK 70. Are there other production knives fitting this description?

Thanks guys and God bless!

I believe the Cold Steel Lucky has a pocket clip.

Spyderco used to make a Byrd Wings Slipit that had a pocket clip. A discontinued model and might be a little hard to find. I used to own one and I thought it was a very well made knife. I miss it now.
 
Boker Subcoms have slipjoint versions. The Spyderco Squeak has a clip as well.

Lansky makes a couple nice slippies with clips as well, designed by Mikkel Willumsen. Here's the MadRock, which has a claw blade:

There are a bunch more, but I don't want to hotlink BHQ into oblivion.

Here is a link to their site, showing all of the slipjoints they have. Many have clips.
 
Case makes the trapperlock. Not quite a slip joint. But, pretty close.

Ummm....I don't see how. As the others actually have slip joint mechanisms and the Trapperlock doesn't.

Back on topic, the new Boker Plus Tech Tools are SAK style slip joints with pocket clips.
 
I suggest the MV knives Zip-Slip. It's more of a semi custom but they are awesome. Clips and one handed opening.
 


I had a lucky for a while but tbh the clip wasn't doing it for me. I would have loved it without the clip. But here's a shot of it for you.

Yep. I mainly carry traditional slipjoints. I could have been persuaded to try a Lucky if it weren't for that (IMHO unnecessary) clip. At least make it so it can be removed and not leave a bit hole/gap in the handle scale, Cold Steel! Pretty cool blade layout and handle shape, though.

I like it, but I wish it didn't have "Lucky" on the blade. Seems kinda goofy.
 
You may consider the Case Mid Folding Hunter, which is a very nice little knife, but a liner lock. Anyway, it's easy and pleasant to carry. In the slipjoint and "clip carry" department, in a modern style, you have the Cold Steel Lucky (which I happen to just love, to the point it's clipped to one of my pockets everyday...) and the Wings Slipit by Spyderco (very "Spyderco" styled, it may or may not match with your taste).
 
Ourgon, that Comrade is a serious contender. Kind a the Bulgarian Sodbuster. I like it a lot. By the way, I think many traditional patterns (especially the smaller ones) would benefit from a pocket clip (at least, as an option).

The Trapperlock is probably the least traditional "traditional" Case makes. They occasionally release a Russlock with a pocket clip, which has an honest to goodness backspring, but that's neither here nor there, since both knives aren't slipjoints. I've thought it would be neat if they made a Russlock without the lock. If they were to do that, I wonder what they'd call it? Russnonlock?

Sanrenmu makes several slipjoints with pocket clips, some with backsprings, some with open frame ball detente mechanisms. Models 9051(aka M1), 7112, 7078,9055, are regular sized slipjoints with pocket clips. Most offer one hand opening. Models 4107, 4110, 4108, 4073, 4112, 4109, 4079 are all smaller (around 3" or less closed) with pocket clips. Some of these theoretically offer one hand opening, but can be pretty fiddly because of their size. Models 7099, 7098, 7095, 7089, 7092, 7105 are regular sized with some multitool features, such as folding cap lifters/screwdrivers/seatbelt cutters.

Most of these are available in a few different color variations.

I'm particularly fond of the 7112, though I don't use pocket clips much on any knives.

Got the 4107. It's not a bad little watch pocket slipjoint after you take the pocket clip off. :) It looks less tacticool in person, a good thing. I should have gotten the 4109 as it's essentially the same, maybe looking a little more sedate.

Which of that list are double detent mechanisms?
 
The Sanrenmu knives look great! Their being more inexpensive might be a good feature for the role I have in mind.
