After using all my current knives extensively I think I like
Spyderco pocket clips the best. Not too tight, but hold
very securely. Easy and smooth to pull from the pocket.

Least favorite may be Kershaw (I have a Leek and a Skyline).
Thought these are still some of my favorite knives, the Leek
feels too slippery and makes me worry a little bit while I feel
the Skyline is a little on the tight/grippy side.

What about you guys?
 
I like Spyderco's clips as well, excluding their wire clip. The wire clip just doesn't float my boat. The Paramilitary clip is the best I've ever had.

My least favorite is any clip that comes out of the butt end of the knife, like SOG uses on the Flash. And all low ride, deep carry clips are on my list of least favorite as well.
 
No major complaints with Spyderco clips with one exception, my new Spyderco Persistence clip is way too tight. My all time favorites are attached to Benchmade knives, particularly those on the Mini-Grip. Just the right amount of tension for me.
 
I really like Spyderco's wire-clip. It's easy to tension how you like, and is very easy on your pockets, plus it's very unobtrusive, and discreet.

Least favorite is hard to pick. I tend to avoid knives that have clips I don't like, so I can't really comment on the "bad" ones.

I know I find the Kershaw Junkyard Dog II clip is cool, where others hate it. I like flashy clips sometimes, and subdued at others.

Generally, though, I find Benchmade clips are quite boring, but unobtrusive, if you have a black-coated one, so I like it sometimes, and dislike it at others.:confused:

Mnandi has my favorite clip. Works perfectly, very tough and doesn't scream "Im carrying a knife!".

I dislike pocket clips on folders equally. My only preference is for those that are easily removed - and don't leave an obvious 'wound' behind.

I really like the spyderco clips. Including the wire clips.

I don't like Kershaw clips. Great knives but most of the clips are WAY too tight. Especially on the skyline.

I have some knives by a cheap company called Sanrenmu. Some people might have heard of it. They make the best pocket clips ever.

Pocket clip on my ontario rat 1 is fine. Nothing wrong with it. The one on my BM rukus is good too.
 
I like Spyderco and my Benchmade 710D2 clips. Absolutely hate my Kershaw Junkyard Dawg clip.
 
Spyderco hit a homerun with their wire clips. Fantasic execution on those. They dropped the ball, however, on those ATR clips. Yikes. They were horrible. Hopefully the Lil Temp II won't come out with one of those durned things.
 
FAVORITE CLIPS
#1 Emerson Pocket Clips
#2 Spyderco Pocket Clips
#3 Benchmade Pocket Clips


CLIPS I HATE
#1 SOG Pocket Clips (I hate those LowRide Clips, that half the time will not push all the way down on your pants pocket)
#2 Cold Steel Pocket Clips
 
I don't have much to judge from,

I like the one On Emerson,
I hate the one on my 5.11, mainly because it completely ruins the ergoes of the handle and bites into my hand.
 
I love Kershaw knives. The clips though on certain models are horrible looking IMO , my Zing comes to mind.
Then models like the Groove , RAM and OD1 save trhe day with perfectly built clips, once again IMO.

My favorites are the clips on my ZT 0300 and my T-3. Both a very strong durable clips which hold securely.

Least liked are the clips on Bechmade's they are just flat flimsy in my experience.
 
I take most of mine off. I usally get them caught on something anyhow. and I really dislike the ones that leave an inch of the knife sticking out of my pocket,you get weird looks when taking the kids to preschool.
