I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
I brandished one once to give a suspected assailant the impression that there would be easier pickings elsewhere. (I was walking across Washington Sq. Park late at night after drinking more than I should probably have in a local bar.) The individual took the message to heart and made a hard 90 degree turn.
I've also fought off an assailant with a knife. (He had the knife. Not me.) It did require a skin graft to my left index finger but that was the extent of it.
Not much to speak of.

There's nothing civil about this war.
My understanding is the original sheaths were kydex, mine was injection molded and eventually loosened over time. Nothing a custom sheath couldn’t resolve.
I don’t carry folders at all and prefer aiwb weakside of a small fixed blade. Right now it’s a Becker/esee bk 21, which is the bk14 in d2 and unfortunately discontinued. I do really like the esee’s handle and this sheath offers a pivoting thumb stud for retention.
And yes, Levi’s offers what they call “tech pockets” on some of their jeans. They’re extra deep and awesome.

Right? There is a reason that J Shirley and S Owens worked so hard to get it to market.
This was open knowledge back in the pre-PF days when I was a highroad denizen. As an aside, I have a custom Sam Owens “shivver," essentially a small seax that he and John also came up with in roundabout fashion.

Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Yes.
Few ill mention:
1: Was attacked by an aggressive dog. He become much less aggressive when slashed by a kabar TDI.
2: Once I was staying with a friend in another state and didn't have my firearm. He was at work so I walked down to a corner store to purchase some supplies. As I was leaving I noticed a man exhibiting some pre-inicident indicators start to follow in behind me. I, in a very pronounced manner, flicked open my ZT 0350 (good size folder) and pretended to clean my finger nails. He promptly went the other way.
3: When I was 18 or so I had three guys with blunt weapons chase me into the woods threating to kill me. They were on drugs. All I had was a small slip joint folder. I remember thinking "Sure wish I had something bigger!" Luckily they didn't find me.
Regarding access, if you wear a tucked in shirt, a neck knife will not be as easy or fast to access as a pocket clipped folder.
I do not see them as replacing a pocket clipped folder, but there is nothing wrong with having one in addition to that folder.

Yes.
1. When I was 13 or 14 I used a brandished knife (4” Case lock-back) and all the attitude I could muster to prevent a dude from kidnapping me.
There were two other times where sketchy folks sizing me up decided to leave when they saw me get “something” out of my pocket.
