Either the Chill or frame lock Leek in the pocket every day (Spyderco Endura 4 on the nightstand and Gerber 400 in the utility cupboard).

Re: Kershaw in the pocket?????
I carry this Skyline a lot and is one of my all time favorite Edcs. It was the first Kershaw I bought in the 14c28n steel.Been carrying one since Kershaw first offered it for sale. This steel has proven it's self very,very worthy in toughness,stain resistance and edge holding properties to me. Threw the toughest and hardest test I know of that being,work time.
Also it covers a niche area for me in discreet carry as a well made back up to my Sp101. No one ever even looks at it twice as something like a weapon. Plus it's a lot of fun just flipping it open.

Re: Kershaw in the pocket?????
About a year ago, I promised another bike and two more Leeks. I see, my forgetter has been working well.
This is the last bike I had. An '03 Honda VTX 1300 I got to replace the Yamaha V-Star 1100 that the second flood destroyed. Last summer, I bought this Teal Leek for my granddaughter. And (I think) Christmas of '13 or '14 I bought this Leek for her brother. It was the same Christmas I bought this Leek for my daughter's (then) husband. This is the very first Leek I bought. And this is the second Leek I bought. Y'all know I love my orange knives. There's something about the Needs Work that lights up my eyes. And who can resist a handful of Scallions?
There are some more Kershaws but I don't want to burn y'all out.

Re: Kershaw in the pocket?????
Got a sweet deal on this blackwash Oso Sweet, so it's getting some pocket time. Flipper fires so hard 'bout jumps outta my hand...gotta hang on tight. But, barely any pressure required for cutting, that Kershaw edge cuts like a dream.

I have several Kershaw knives in my EDC pile. I've been toting a Needs Work for the past few weeks. It is one tough knife and I use it a lot. It ain't pretty but it gets the job done.

Re: Kershaw in the pocket?????
Hows the auto button on that Launch and whats the price range??
"On the Road Again"Willie Nelson
Re: Kershaw in the pocket?????
The Auto button is in that recessed slot and the top of the button is about 0.020" proud. The button works the action with a 2 stage feel. If you slowly press the button down, it goes in below the surface of the surrounding scale and momentarily stops, you then push just a bit harder and the blade swings out. I suspect they engineered this into it, to try and prevent accidental discharge in the pocket. Some folks may not like the 2 stages... It doesn't bother me, because I just push right through it and if in a hurry, you don't notice it. As mentioned above, I paid $90.00 for it.
