Do You Need a "Deep Carry" Clip?

I've never been a fan. And I don't see the point. This is the Clark Kent of the knife world. Someone will recognize a knife if 1/2" of it showing in the pocket, but will think it's a pen or something if it's not? Not buying it. I like being able to easily grab the body of the knife. No deep carry clips for me.

Agreed on all counts. Especially the seatbelt thing. It's been more than once my car has tried to steal my knife.

I prefer a knife with a clip but it's not a deal breaker.
What is the deal breaker is I have to be able to carry it tip up in my Left pocket.
But even that is still not a total deal breaker because if I really wanted a knife and I couldn't adjust the clip that way I would just take the clip off and carry the knife in my pocket

For those truly worried about concealment, they should invent a kydex pocket holster (ala Bodyguard) for knives. That way it can always be in the same position, ready to access, 100% concealed.

I like a fixed blade and yes I have several folders. When going the doctors office or visit someone in the hospital I usually use a neck knife. Some years back one of my best friends who has been called home showed my what he called a shoulder holster for a fixed blade. I have a fixed blade that has a kydec sheath,blade is and 5/8 long with hole at the tip of the sheath. The old dog tag chains fit thru it , so you take the chains (2ormore because of chest size) make a figure 8 and slip over shoulders. I wore one of those to the governors ball with no problems and diffinetly out of sight. I do have a small advantage because of dual defibrillator and 28 inches of stainless steel holding my chest together. My son has tried it out.

If the depth of a knife clip is your biggest concern, you got a damn good life ENJOY IT

I use it every time I have one. For myself it’s not about concealment. I can put other things in my pocket . The knife doesn’t get mangled up in and I don’t have to dig around.
