What is your max

What is the max number of layers you would carry in your pocket and why?
I know some people dislike carrying over a certain size where as I can carry and even forget about the Champion in my pocket

I don't really have a limit TBH and quite happily pocket carry a Swisstool. SAK wise the largest I own is a Swisschamp and I find that fine to pocket carry.

I like super loaded pockets and can't stand sheaths.

I think I'm too skinny and boney to be able to wear one comfortably.

That wasn't me saying you were fat.

About 120lb (on a fat day).

and you have a normal BMI? boy you need to eat more

JohnD · **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2009, 10:06:02 PM

I can carry a Swisschamp in my pocket but have to use a belt hanger.

BTW i wish i was only 120lb! I'm about 200lb. I'm not fat though i'm just built like a brick sh*t house.I train at the Gym most days and i've started doing boxing.(sorry for hijacking the thread BTW)

Nope my BMI is very very low.

I'm quite happy with the swisschamp, wouldn't want to go any bigger though. Usually stick with the Ranger - very comfortable (read unnoticeable - at least to me) in the pocket.

You really really don't. Being underweight is as big a problem as being overweight yet everyone for some reason always thinks you should feel "lucky".

No matter what I do I can't put on weight.

How shocking is that coming from me

Like a lot of pep's I carry a Swiss Champ, but that's about as big as I'd like to go, as I find my Wenger S54 a bit too wide, and the XLT even worse $:-\$

I think a Cybertool 41 would be ok though

Emigrate to the US. We have ways of fixing that problem.

Cheers Ben. Like i said i probably am a bit over weight but i havent got a huge gut so it's not a problem for me.

Zack · **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2009, 10:50:58 PM

I have EDC's an XLT a few times and its not that bad with the right pants. I usually carry the thinker SAKS in the back pocket, and 4 or less in the front pocket if I am wearing jeans like Levi's 501's or the like. If I am wearing dresspants 2 is my max. Usually a cadet or timekeeper.

Neil · **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2009, 10:58:10 PM

Four is really my max for pocket carry and I try to avoid even that.

max6166 · **Reply #23 on:** June 19, 2009, 10:58:29 PM

The most I have ever regularly pocket-carried was a Ranger, but only when I have fairly loose jeans or something similar. I did find that a bit too thick though and prefer 3 or 4 layers.

I greatly prefer alox for pocket carry now - a Farmer or Cadet depending upon what I am wearing. You barely notice it is there!

jzmtl · **Reply #24 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:04:43 PM

Depends on the clothing, right now summer is coming 2 is comfortable, 3 is pushing it.

I find 6000 layers is quite enough, even if I have to live without my Quantum-Spork by giving up those extra 166 layers.

Not comfortable pocket carrying, I'm more of a sheath or pouch belt loop kind of guy. The only things I pocket carry is my keys, hanky and my beater cell phone.

bren10man · **Reply #29 on:** June 20, 2009, 02:44:46 AM

Champion, 7 layers.

Most of the time now, I carry it in a pouch.

If I do carry in a pocket, I carry a Super Tinker.
