Alright,I know I'm new to this forum,but it doesn;t mean I'm new to knives,and this subject is very easy and I know you guys have common sense.I have 8 EDCs on me all the time,6 tip up,2 tip down,only ever had problems with a knife opening in pocket from a tip DOWN. Now,from what this condescending man Gollnick surmises,is essentially tip up carry is for no sense stupid people to carry. I definitely think otherwise,one,I am a Benchmade man,therefore,I only carry Benchmades,which mean I'm carrying a very qualtiy knife,GRAVITY,is not going to open my tip up knives,Benchmade or otherwise,you have concluded easily that with tip up,the blade spin goes against the seam of the pocket.DUH. BUT I shall take this one step further and state,upon observation some people even with tip up carry,with LINER LOCKS,they still open within the pocket,however,and this is my point,with AXIS locks,on my Benchmades,they have never opened,NEVER. No problems whatsoever,even my CRKT M1 Lightfoot is tip up in my back pocket,no problems whatsoever,I've worn these things like this through Tae Kwon Do classes that I take,kicking,punching,jumping,all that stuff,they never open. SO,my conclusion is, that tip up carry is safer,and,to be totally certain, a tip-up AXIS lock knife,(with blade spine against pocket seam),will NOT open.
Game.Set.Match.Common sense,cmon,you guys can come to this conclusion yourselves,and we don't need a condescending music teacher to be sarcastic about gravity opening a knife within a pocket,why,I think if the knife were opened by gravity it would be a GRAVITY knife,DUH. Alright, Nostredamus has spoken.
