Well, carrying the 5700 point-up in my pocket (in Michigan, you'd probably go to jail if you used the pocket clip, and part of the knife was visible) carried the chance of the blade starting to open. So I chose a Camillus with real handles, which protect the blade stud much better. No more risk of accidental blade opening for me.
You've seen the Camillus EDC. A vey nice knife with 2.95" blade, and in the same general category as the CRKT 5700 as far as size goes. I remove the pocket clip, since I'm not using it, and that increases "pocketability" for me.
Now that I work weekend midnights alone in a hugh building, I felt my pocket needed an "upgrade". This is the special version of the Cuda "Dominator", made without the assisted-opening feature, so I can be legal in Michigan. It has a 3.65" blade made of a vey nice S30V steel, while the handles and locking mechanism is titanium, anodized to a medium blue, and not the "raw" color shown here. It's a hefty knife, and the lock snapping into place is about as loud as racking a pump shotgun. But it's flat, and doesn't print through my pocket. I'll be keeping this one around for a long while.
