I've searched and haven't found anything, are there any SAK type knives that also have a pocket clip? My ideal, perfect carry knife would have a 2 inch( give or take) blade, a bottle opener, and a pocket clip. Any suggestions?
 
that is a fine line i believe, once you add a pocket clip it crosses into modern folder
 
Pocket clips do put this outside the Traditional knife discussion forum. Moving to General.
 
Knives Ship Free sells a knife slip with a magnetic flap that keeps the slip verticle in your pocket ,I find this very comfortable in the back pocket of jeans.
it carries the knife as if it had a clip only better.I have carried several different traditionals in this way and it works very well for me,
I beleive it is called an insider pocket slip.
 
SwissBianco who luckily is a member here sells pocket clips, replacement scales with pocket clips, and knives with pocket clips pre installed.... all SAKs.

Should be very easy to find the SAK you want, get the clip or replacement scales that go to it, and end up with exactly what you are looking for.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I've seen that pocket sheath but to a little bulky for what I want . I'm trying to look at the website for swissbianco but it's not letting me look at the web store section, guess I'll try a pm to him.

I'd love an Alox cadet with a built in clip, imo that would be a perfect edc. I've carried traditionals in my pocket but I've also lost a couple that way. I've never once lost a knife that was clipped to my pocket.
 
Look at the Boker Plus Tech Tool City series. Like SAKs, only in 12C27 steel, many styles with variety of tools and all have pocket clips. I have the City 1 (single blade) and love it. Comes with good sharp edge and takes and holds a scary sharp edge.

I made a modification to my large Case Sod Buster and added a clip I hat laying around.

The Case Trapper-lock can be had with a pocket-clip and looks pretty "traditional".

Scratch that, missed the other requirements. That's what I get for scanning the OP vs. actually reading.

I've never seen those and they look exactly like I had in mind, thanks for that! Now I just need to figure out exactly which one I want.

You can actually buy scales with a clip for some Vics :)

Wanted the same as you. Decided to put an extra clip I had on with some extra screws I had laying around (obviously). Just drilled pilot holes, and they went in easy. Doesn't look that great, but was easy, cheap, and serves its purpose.

That new boker tech tool line comes with pocket clips.

Oops someone beat me to it, well it does seem to be what you are looking for

IMHO, don't compromise on the model you want, just buy the knife you want the clip for, buy the clip you want on it, and install (it's pretty easy) or find someone who can do it for you :) The clips/screws/setters may cost a bit, but it's well worth getting what you wanted in the first place, my $0.02
