In the warm weather I wear cargo pocketed shorts that have a flap. Since I lost weight, all 5 pair went to the wife's sewing room for size reduction. While she was at it, I had her design an opening in the top of the flap to let the clip hang on the outside of the flap. It ended up being 1 3/8" wide and required some stiffener to make everything function well. My knife is a Emerson/Kershaw with a notch that grips the pocket as it comes out. Only slightly slower than a Automatic Opener!(if at all!!!) The holes are set for tip up only carrying, but is drilled on both sides for left or right hand carry. I guess we will have to come up with a similar design for cold weather clothing. I can't see me without this feature ever again!
