So I wear a knife everyday. A small benchmade pocketknife with a pocket clip. Comes in handy all the time and I know lots of people carry pocket knives. I wear it in my right pants pocket with the clip outside of the pocket. Easy and quick to get to there. The problem is trying to get into and out of the car. The knife's clip is in perfect position to grind against the steering wheel while trying to get in, especially in tight parking spaces where the door can't be opened fully. This grinding on the wheel leaves small marks on the wheel's leather. Like several small parallel lines where the clip bounced down the side. Does anyone else have this problem and what do you do to prevent it? I know the easiest answer is to move the knife to my left pocket or to not use the clip. But both of these would make access to the knife much slower. The other option is to take the knife out of my pocket before entering the car every time but that is a hassle. Does anyone have a suggestion that I've overlooked? Thanks!

 

 

No suggestions. My SW it focked as well. Focking knife clips.

 

Put it in your fob pocket instead.

 

hmm, im not sure i have those in my pants. hell, im not sure i even know what one is!

 

Easy.

Carry a pistol in a IWB holster.


Or switch to being left handed and put your knife in the left pocket.

 

even if a daily carried my 1911 i'd still want a knife. i haven't had to use the knife for defense (yet!) but i use it almost daily for other small tasks. and while becoming left-handed would be fun, im afraid i lack the developmental capasity to carry such a thing out.

 

my spyderco always did that to my wrx's steering wheel. have you tried sliding the seat back before you get out of the car?

 

If your pocket knife....................................... You must be a redneck.


lol........j/k!

 

I guess I've got the best of both worlds.. Left handed and carry strong side. No scratched leather.

Switching pockets is your best bet.
