Deep Pocket Carry

What is Deep Pocket Carry?

Deep pocket carry refers to a method of carrying a concealed folding knife or other small tools deep inside a pocket, making them less visible and more discreet to others. This carry style is commonly employed by those who want to keep their tools or knives hidden while ensuring easy access when needed.

Consider the following factors:

• Pocket Clip: Many folding knives come with a pocket clip attached to one side. The clip is designed to secure the knife inside the pocket and keep it in an accessible position. For deep pocket carry, position the clip near the top of the pocket opening so that the majority of the knife is concealed inside.
• Slim Design: Opt for a knife with a slim profile and minimal protrusions. Knives with deep-carry pocket clips are often designed to be less noticeable when carried inside a pocket.
• Smooth Edges: Avoid carrying items in the same pocket that could catch on the knife’s handle or opening mechanism, as this might reveal the presence of the knife or hinder quick access.
• Proper Orientation: Ensure the knife is oriented in the pocket with the blade facing upward or downward (away from your fingers) to prevent accidental injury during retrieval.
• Secure Fit: Make sure the knife is securely held in place by the pocket clip, and there is no risk of it accidentally falling out of the pocket.
• Concealed Clothing: Wearing garments with deep pockets can also contribute to discreet carry, as the knife will be less likely to print or become noticeable through the fabric.

Remember that deep pocket carry is only one method of carrying a folding knife, and the appropriateness of this style depends on your local laws, workplace rules, and personal preferences. Always ensure that you are complying with the applicable laws and regulations regarding the carrying of knives or any other tools in your area. Safety is paramount when carrying any sharp object, so practice safe carry and retrieval techniques to avoid accidents.
