    I stopped carrying my Leek because the clip couldn't be adjusted so I couldn't carry it like that in my front right pocket. I really like that knife except for the fact that it kept opening in my pocket. That little safety slider thing didn't inspire much confidence.

    As to knives that lock closed off hand I can think of the Benchmade mini Barrage, CRKT Lake series and some of the more more mall-ninja s&w knives.

The best way to open a folder is with two hands......the hump with the hole gives a great purchase for your off hand..... Fixed blade is the fastest.....choose your risk/reward and drive on.
    I have had very good performance with waved folding trainers in grappling and entanglement. Very high ratio of successful deployments and only a few failures.

    Pro-Tip: Having a first aid kit with a buncha 2”x2” bandages in the door of the truck is a super good idea.

    I didn’t need any stitches but it left a fairly nasty reminder.
    I’m afraid that knife is cursed.....it tried to kill us both!

    I have a G10 Mini-Grip that I really like. But the keys are in the other pocket so they can’t open up the knife. A Spyderco hole is much harder to open in the pocket compared to the Axis stud.

    The only thing that goes in that pocket is small Swiss Army knife.

    Thanks.

    Found that one, and was being nagged for a Christmas list, so that model was sent to them and is on the way.
    Now if I can avoid stabbing myself until then.

    Me too.

    And going for the blade while pinned is putting the cart in front of the horse. Remember the three Ps folks - Pressure, Posture, Position. Dominant positions win fights, not knives.

    And I've especially had no problems deploying waved blades when they are carried at the front of the pocket P'Kal style. In fact, to have that trapped, I'd have to be on my stomach or side. In which case I'm not in the right place to be trying to get a knife out anyways.

    The CRKT Igniter locks closed.

    What does "wave" mean?

    The Emerson Wave that opens the folder when the knife is drawn from the pocket.
