Your Favorite/Least Favorit Pocket Clip(s)?

I like the clip on my DDR Madd Maxx, kinda similar to the Mnandi.

Not due of tension or anything, but cause the knife is pretty much invisible from the outside. You can just see the clip, and that's it.
 
My faves are
emerson clips, when the tesion is adjusted to be just right
spyderco military/ paramilitary is great
and the sebenza clip is awesome too:D
 
Favorite, SOG Flash II. So-So knife, but I really like the lowride clip.

Least favorite, Kershaw Speed/Spec Bump. The clip looks cool, but that's the problem, they attract too much attention. That and they are mounted tip down.

Don't have a big collection, so can't say about other brands.
 
it depends, my favorite pocket clip is my STR lowrider :D

but my favorite factory clip would be my small sebenza, the design is just perfect!

+1 on the SOG Flash series! I love the clips on both the I and II!
 
Anyone know of instructions to put a benchmade clip on a JYDII for tip up carry? It would make that knife a lot better for me.TIA

favorite is a split between the Spyderco Wireclip and the Benchmade deviltail (like the one on my new 530) both retain really well and have a relatively low profile

least favorite id have to say would be the clip on the kershaw JYD, i could never get over the the whole Klingon look of the thing
 
The Ti clip by STR is my favorite. Shown on my mini Grip.

My favorite clips are on the following knives:
XM-18
Sibert Custom MPR
Sebenza
DDR's Trigger & Trigger Express
 
My favorite is the Spyderco hourglass-shaped clips.

My least favorite are the Cold Steels. Too damned stiff, hard to attach to the pocket.
 
My favorite are the Spyderco wire clips(most of their clips are great though) and the clip on my Buck Vantage is amazing, and even though it wears bad I really like the clip on my Benchmade 710.
Least favorite is on an old Gerber Torch that I have.

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 think that's a common issue will the China made Spydies. All my Syderco knives have great clips except my Tenacious which doesn't move at all.
 
EASILY, my favorite is the SOG X-42 Autoclip.

Just takes a quick thumb movement on the knurled roller to tighten or loosen it, making it easy to draw and easy on the pocket, too. Fast and secure for any thickness of material.
 
Emerson clips. The finish comes off real easily, so might as well leave it uncoated. Not to mention my CQC-10 is only drilled on the right scale, still a good knife though.

ZT clips. On my 0301 it tends to wobble off on its own since it does not have a snug fit against the 3d texture of the scale.

Microtech clips. Really, do I need a billboard on a tiny strip of metal?

CRKT M21-SF clip. Allen screws/keys strip way too easily.

Haven't had a problem with Spyderco clips so far.
 
I'm not too concerned over the tension on the clip. That can be adjusted (nice if it's just right out of the box of course). I'm more concerned about the shape and how it rides in the pocket. I don't want a piece of art as a pocket clip, simple and nondescript for me.

Spydercos, in general, are nice. I mostly EDC Delicas and 4 way clips are nice for picky folks.

Ken Onion has some crappy clip designs imo (spec bump, offest, jyd, needs work, etc) and integrated clips.
 
So far my favorite are the Spyderco wire clips. I also really like the ZT clips because they are so unobtrusive. Honorable mentions would be Emerson and Benchmade standard clips.
 
My Kershaw Offset has a big and ugly clip and my ZT was so tight I couldn't even get it on the pocket until I bent it out slightly. I like the clip on the Cold Steel Black Sable and Tal-War and my Emersons, Benchmades (especially the Onslaught, gun metal grey) and Spydercos are generally decent. I find that it is not always the clips but how rough the material (usually G-10) is underneath the clip that angers me.
