For real. I have a tiny swiss army knife that cost like $10. I use it to open packages, and I keep it in my pocket's pocket. (You know, the little flap thing that's in your right pocket for storing loose change or whatever.)

Carrying around a knife that large seems miserable. I already wince when I wear pants that don't have a pocket-pocket (lol, I should probably find out the actual name). Carrying around a 4.5" knife is like ... why? Where do you keep it?

It's called a "watch pocket", originally meant for, unsurprisingly, pocket watches.


Carrying around a knife with a pocket clip… you won’t even feel it’s there. I also have a leather man wave + in the same pocket. I sometimes notice that.

It’s more comfortable in Jeans vs dress pants, but both work.


The little pocket on the right side of many pants is called the watch pocket. It was originally used to carry pocket watches. Because people don’t commonly carry pocket watches anymore it’s not as big as it used to be.



Snap it to the back of your pants or your belt. Most knives have a clip.
