Here's a new collaboration from Jason Brous...looks pretty good

As a few others have admitted, I'm a bit of a knife hoarder...however, the ones I actually carry are pictured below.
L-R:
-Benchmade SOCP, acid-washed to darken it after I partially stripped the finish while sharpening it all the way (it only comes with about 3/4" of the tip sharpened).
-Clinch pick
-Old Endura from before they offered them with a wave. This clip design beats the pants off the new ones with the frigging tiny screws.
-Spyderco Superleaf, probably my favorite Spydie ever in terms of ergonomics and overall design. I really like the pinky-hook and the deep choil on the handle; I'm just not a fan of the choil on the blade.
-Kerahaw/Emerson cqc-6, a new addition that I bought because they were on sale for $25 and I wanted to try one out...so far it's pretty slick. It waves out of the pocket into forward grip pretty easily. It takes more work than the any of the Spydercos to wave out of a front pocket into reverse grip due to the smaller hook. Still, it'd be a heckuva bang for your buck at twice the price.
-Spyderco P'kal
-Newer Delica that I used as a first attempt at acid-etching. I think it came out pretty good.
Here's a shot of the other side:
The SOCP and Endura are my on-duty knives, along with a Cold steel Safekeeper III push-dagger (the stubby one).
The rest of the time it's the clinch pick worn centerline plus whichever one of the folders fits best with my wardrobe.

Dude, that etching job on the Spyderco looks pretty good!
The only thing worse than arrogance is false humility.
Thanks, I saw a bunch on USN that folks had done so I decided to try my hand. One of these days I'll get around to trying a more structured design or logo.Originally Posted by 41magfan

I decided I needed to get back into the habit of carrying a pocket knife. I've used the Clinch Pick a few too many times as a utility tool.
Ghetto wave on the trainer since the waved version is apparently discontinued. Swap the clip to the left side and the knife opens pretty handily into reverse grip/edge out orientation, so it can double as a defensive tool as well. So far I'm happy with it.
I quit carrying a knife after I was assigned to IA and had two jails to do interviews in daily.
Our bosses do not want knife clips visible when in uniform. I am back in uniform now and need to go through my small stash of knives and figure out what would work.
I don't know what's in your pockets, but the Raven/MDTS pocket shield with a knife clipped on it works well for keeping the clip off the pocket while still keeping the knife in a consistent place.
Thanks for the suggestion. I went back in uniform in October and went out in mid December with a back issue. I have time to figure out a lot of things right now...

You can easily just clip your folder to your pants (aiwb) behind your duty belt.
This would allow you to easily access the folder and keep it hidden.
