I only carry it in my pocket. It's best to use the pocket clip. Speaking of the pocket clip, I think it might take a while to loosen to the point where it allow easy placement. It looks fantastic but depending on the pants you are wearing can fight you a bit while trying to place it. That's my only complaint.
It certainly can be carried comfortably in my pocket unless I have my Speedos on. Examples of knives that I consider too big are CS Colossus, Ka-Bar Mule, CS 6" Hold-out, and the CS AD-10. (Notice a pattern here?) I normally wear jeans or baggy shorts. Should I happen to put on some nice slacks for church, then the Gent in Rosewood, a Leek, or the Spyderco Manix XL in S90V are likely. This knife is not my favorite, but it has grown on me. For me to carry and use it, I have to be willing to put my finger in the choil. Otherwise, the handle is too skinny and short.
Yes and no. I lost one out of my pocket; it must have hooked onto something and fell out. I've gotten the tip of the exposed knife hooked on my seat belt getting out of the truck a number of times. It sticks up about 3/4 of an inch out of the pocket. Deep in the pocket is fine, but less accessible and a bit thick. I use the Gent for carrying while I'm wearing slacks or nice pants, as it's more sleek.
how do I use my $20 credit?
I would love to order this and use my $20 but I see no way of doing so. I emailed CS 2 days ago and haven't gotten a response... Starting to see where the reviews on support have some validity...
