The heaviest folder for my EDC, clipped into my pocket:

Ultralight EDC knives for me, so 1 oz or less.
My EDC knives should be light, so 3 oz is my upper limit.
Medium weight for me, so anything up to 5 oz is fine.
I EDC only heavy duty knives, so anything up to 8 oz is fine.
Weight limits are for wimps, I carry only the heaviest folders.

For me it would depend on the size of the knife.  If its a 4" blade then anything up to 5oz. is fine for me but if its a shorter blade like less than 3-1/2" I generally don't edc it if its more than 4oz.  The Benchmade Vex is a good example,  shorter blade but heavy at 4.7oz.  its a decent knife but just feels too heavy to edc in the pocket.

I have carried several different clipped knives from a Cold Steel Pocket Bushman, Spyderco Endura 4, Emerson Mach 1, Gerber Ez Out.

All different shapes and sizes and weights,  I never had a problem with the weight but I have had a problem with getting stuff out of
that pocket with them in there sometimes.

Pocket clips and belt sheaths are asking for attention so I steer away from both of these carry methods. This leaves either pocket organizers or loose pocket carry as options. Given my body structure and depth/width of pockets on most of my pants, I have to either go with 5oz or lighter, or have a little something bouncing on every step I make... ::) :D
