Just wanted to show everyone a great new way to carry something in your pocket. I don't like lanyards attached to my belt and I usually already have enough junk on my belt so I pocket carry my SAK and my keys. They can get pretty heavy and irritating rubbing against my leg all day.
I saw a post here from Scott (knifecoop of Old School SAK fame) with one of his SAKKlips in it and decided that I wanted to try one out. On your keys or your SAK it keeps the weight out of the bottom of your pocket and off to the side. I don't have to dig for them anymore, just pull up on the clip. These are really cool folks! http://www.knifecooperative.com

On my keychain:

On my Ranger:

I prefer to carry my Vic knives in the watch pocket of my jeans, but this looks like an excellent and intelligent alternative!

Thanks SAKSrCool for the kind comments!

These SAKKlips are working out well. Based on the response and inquirys I'm getting I've decided to make another batch!

Regards,
Scott
 
I want a whole bunch , trying to get some SAK loving friends together for a group buy .

I love that clip! Its just what I have been looking for. I was looking around my junk drawer today and came across an old microlite. The metal clip on it reminded me of that clip so I decided to try it out. It works perfectly, although not quite as stylish as yours. So far it works well with my jeans...
 
Looks just like the Titanium Dangler that Deryk Munroe just started making. Funny how your's is so similar, Scott.

I had the same idea using an Inova Microlight's clip on my SAK Handyman, and even though the Handyman is very massive, heavier and thicker (it has pliers) than the Ranger depicted above, the clip holds it well and my SAK stays in place in my left pocket.

I used to carry my Handyman in my back left pocket along with a zipped leather wallet for the keys (the Handyman closer to my left arm), and although it stayed in place as well, sometimes I found it a little uncomfortable while seated during a long period of time. Now, with this new configuration, I don't even notice it's there. If you're going to carry your SAK like this, remember something: as the SAKs have the main blade partially protruding when closed, I recommend to carry them with that blade's side facing your body because the side of the corkscrew is flatter and won't protude as much on your pants. Also, the ring gets closer to the left side in that way so it fits better on your left pocket. This pic shows what I mean:

The corkscrew facing outside...


By judging the size of the Handyman I think it's fair to say that even a Victorinox SwissChamp could be easily and comfortabily carried in this way, because the SAK never touches the bottom of your pocket (it's suspended). So if you didn't want to carry a large SAK in your pocket before just because of its size, now it's time to think it twice and try this configuration.

The Handyman is inside and clipped to my left pocket.


Hope this helps to anyone who wants to try this system.

Bye!
 
The SAKKlip looks interesting. I use a small Nite-Ize S-Biner to suspend SAKS inside my pants pocket as shown below.

Thats the clip I use with my farmer, its works great, I even added a set sliver saver tweezers to the package.
 
It can be done using only the Inova clip (or any other clip of similar length) and getting rid of the crab-hand thingy (by the way, please tell me the real name of that clip because I have no clue and English is not my first language). I just added it after watching SAKsRCool's pictures and wanted to try how it works. It just adds more lenght to the whole stuff but both ways are comfortable.

Some simple things like this things make life easier, isn't it?
 
All, I'm planning to source my clips from DC Munroe. He's got the process to make these down to a science!

See further down in this posting regarding DC and me reaching agreement on the SAKKlips.
