The thickest I've been carrying is the Victorinox Super Tinker. It has the basic SAK 4-blade tool mix, plus scissors, then phillips, awl, and hook on the back.

For me personally, this seems the thickest I can carry in-pocket w/out it bothering me a bit. It also has most tools I need SAK-wise on a daily basis.

How about anyone else? Also, do you find yourself positioning the knife in pocket so the lanyard hole extension won't rub/wear the pocket material, or does it really matter?

For years I've carried an Adventurer model which has tools similar to a tinker, but has the locking 3.25" blade and is consequently longer. This week I started carrying the Locksmith model which includes the tools of the Adventurer plus a saw and metal file. This is .75" thick (about .25" thicker than the Adventurer) and is rather heavy.

The thickness is extreme to me. I wouldn't routinely carry a knife this bulky in my front pants pocket. It has not been a problem for my usual carry. My usual spot is 'standing' vertical in my right back pocket along the right side of my wallet. This is inconspicuous and handy to reach. It is also out of the way so I don't sit on it.

The weight is also extreme to me. Fortunately I always wear suspenders to holdup all the hardware I keep in my pockets.
 
In jeans the thickest I carry is a full length 3 spring model like a Climber. I have carried this size in Dockers but I'm more comfotable with a Classic or Executive.

the gals always wanna know whats in there!
 
I carry the Executive model, everyday, wouldn't do without it.
The other two models I have are the Mechanic and Super Tinker, for each of the various tools they carry, they ride in my bag I take to work. Plus the Swiss Tool in a sheath on the belt somedays.

I carry Huntsman regularly, with a bit of duct tape on the key ring so it doesn't snag my pocket. It is rather heavy and big compared to my alox handled favorites, however.
