Whose got the best looking pocket clip?

Kirby Lambert Inferno. Not sure if it is the framelock (looks like the ti is thick) or the sorta framelockish liner lock.

They come in a framelock and linerlock, tough to tell the difference, lots to have a boo at on True North Knives.

I'm not a fan of that pocket clip, but that knife is stunning.

I've said many times, I passionately hate low ride clips, and I really don't like Spyderco's wire clip either. But as far as designs go, I don't like a lot of Kershaw's newer clips because they're too big and wide, but that's just me and I like simple lines. The clip shouldn't take away from the aesthetic value of the knife.

I'm a big fan of the well used, banged up pocket clip...

That's as unintentionally artist as I'm gonna get taking pictures of pocket clips :rolleyes: oh well.

I like Benchmade's clips and I like a lot of Spyderco's clips (aside from the afore mentioned wire clip), especially the slim one used on the Centofante models and the old Endura/Delica/Native clip.
 
These are not my knives or pics but I have had several 690's in the past and I love the teardrop pocket clips. I hope one of these days I can get a David Winston Denali.

Was this clip hard to do? I just bought a JYDII (still hasn't come in yet), but I'm really not a fan of the clip. I like yours MUCH better.

I also think the clip on the JYDII is too large. It was not hard but I have the background as a machinest. Most clips are hardened or a type of spring steel. I made this one from .040 316SS. All the ones I made have been with this material and I have not had any problems with them. 300 Series SS cannot be hardened and does not tarnish very easy. Used in the medical profession for that reason.
 
I'm not big on large or long clips, wavy clips, or clips that get fatter at their ends, like the clip on the Skirmish (though I love the rest of the knife). Don't like stubby clips either, like some Kershaws.

My absolute favorite is this on the MINI Persian (though right now I have it off on mine). The big one is too long and thin:

I also like the clip on the Spyderco Spin; it's simple and gets the job done (although I carry mine clipless, back pocket).

Also, the Kopa is great since the knife is all about special handle scales. Since the clip is open you get to see a lot more than with a normal clip. It also has a good shape to it.
 
I have to admit I really like the bead blasted clips on the new J.D. Smith. Snapped one just now with my cell phone. Sorry about the quality...

I like the looks of the clip on the new CRKT Ken Onion Eros:

see: CRKT Ken Onion Collaborations for more details.

I also quite like the clip on the Kershaw RJ Martin designed Zing:

but I like the radiating grooves on the blade even more.....
see: Review - Kershaw Zing

The Kershaw Tim Galyean JunkYard Dog series had pretty nice clips as-is:

whereas the RJ Martin designed Groove clip looks pretty plain by comparison....
