The only thing that goes in the knife pocket is the knife! I have plenty of other pockets for everything else.

It's funny, one of the last times I carried tip down it was also with an assisted folder. A Leek. The tip ended up sticking out of the front of my pants, since it opened up in my pocket. Fun.
If the studs snag the pocket and partially open it as you are pulling it out...weren't you pulling it out to open it up anyway?
I want the knife to open when I want it to open, not when it decides to.![]()
Probably going to be a lot of us, since it is damn near impossible to cut yourself with the spine touching a pocket seam, like it is supposed to.
Tip up right front, tip down right rear. I don't trust any knife to stay closed. To the point that I won't even carry tip down in my right front pocket. Too many horror stories for me to not have the blade against a seam.
Now let's hear from the all the tip uppers that have never been cut from a tip up blade.
