What knife can’t you keep out of your pocket?

Lately I can’t keep this 204p Military out of my pocket. I have a collection that I’m very happy with, so i’ll put something else out of the drawer to carry for a while, buy before you know it i’ll look down and see that weird pocket clip hanging out of my pocket again.

On paper I shouldn’t like it this much. Besides from tip down, I don’t really like liner locks. Id prefer deep carry. It’s ugly in pictures. It doesn’t flip out like a ZT or anything like that, yet there it is taking up pocket space.

I’m sure things will change, but it’s funny how I/we go through phases with certain knives.
 
KW Ti/Cf S90v Military, been that way for a few months now, I give it a break once in a while but for the most part it's always with me. I actually like the tip down carry on the Military (it just works) and this particular model is an absolute pleasure to look at.
And it's so great I bought 3 of them.

Benchmade Bugout.

It's in my pocket because it doesn't feel at all like it's in my pocket.

It's thin, it's light as a feather, it has a deep carry clip and it rides like its made of smoke.

And that ain't all... it's a brilliant user; sharp, good sized, great slicer; Axis lock...

It's not the only knife I carry around, but it's the one that always goes with me.
 
I carry my 204p a lot too. Mostly out in the woods.

this CASE 6208 splitback half whittler has been in my pocket since the day I got it probably a month ago, and while it'll have to happen in the next week or so I just can't leave it out of my pocket right now.

Ok this year I have three knives I gravitate and all others are ignored. I have been carrying a S110v PM2. Then I got 551-1 Grip with 20cv gray G10. But the last knife I added in January was a ZT0562CF with 20cv. That knife has a very difficult time waiting its rotation turn. Dont tell the PM2 but if I was forced to only keep one it would be a tough discussion. A year ago I would have said the PM2 without hesitation. Funny how things change but I really look forward to the ZT's turn and there will be a time when the rotation just ends and maybe the ZT will be in the pocket when the music stops.....
 
Hard to keep a SAK out of my pocket, But I usually have two knives with me and for the last 6 months it has been the Steel Will Mini Cutjack. Hardly even know it's there.
 
Victorinox Alox Mini Champ. It's on my key ring, so it pretty much goes into my pocket when I leave the house no matter what else I am carrying.
 
ZT350.

It's not my favorite knife. It's not even my favorite ZT. However it's one tough work knife that just keeps going.

I may put "nicer" ones in my pocket for other ocassions, but the 350 just keeps working the daily rotation.
 
PM2 red m390
940-1501 black/blue 20cv

Always seems to be one of those two whenever I'm not at work.
 
My SAK Spartan. I want to carry my larger folders more, but for the last year, I just keep grabbing this one in the mornings.
 
This is a perfect knife for me, and I haven't left home without it since I got it a couple months ago.

Since I got my Spyderco K390 urban, I’ve had to force myself to carry other knives. It’s such a useful little knife and the weight, or lack thereof, is awesome.
 
My ZT 0801ti. I carried it for much of this past year. It just works so well for me. I even hesitated to switch to my new 0393 to give it pocket time. Im still itching to put the 0801ti back in my pocket
 
SAK. Either a Cadet or a Pioneer.

Doesn’t matter what other knife I may or may not have on me. I ALWAYS have either of those two in my pocket.
 
I usually carry 2 pocket knives and one of them is always a SAK (Spartan, Tourist, Cadet or Pioneer).
