I've lost several in the past. That's why I carry a S&W cheapo. Looks mean but only cost $25. I keep thinking about a better (more expensive) knife but have too many mouths at the table right now.

?????!!! Someone is within his envelope enough to lift a knife clipped inside his pocket, and the debate is how expensive a knife should be carried...!

If someone is that close, one should be asking if they are trying to get a good feel or telling them the restroom is "thata way->."

Combat failure with redundancy.

I had my LEEK fall out of my back pocket numerous times, until I attached a short length of small chain to it with a clip that I fasten it to my belt loop with. The pocket clip is a very insecure way to carry the knife, and it increases the likelihood of losing the knife if precautions are not taken. The chain was from a wallet, like a biker wallet. The chain is long enough that I can use the knife in close, but if I need to cut something at full arms length I release the knife from the chain. My knife is not intended for defensive use. I would not want to risk cutting myself by trying to use the Leek as a weapon, since the grip is so thin and slick.
