I see the trend now is for low-ride clips. I can see the point if you must conceal your knife. Otherwise, it just makes the knife harder to get, and slower. I prefer that the knife rides high enough that I can get to the stud/hole/flipper without repositioning my hand. It's just more convenient.
Anyway, I wish knife makers would offer both high- and low- ride clips for their knives. I see a lot of knives that I would like, but do not purchase because of the low-ride mentality these days. I know that if the knife sits that low, I will never carry it because it's a pain to draw.
Funny how it's the opposite with fixed blades, with high-ride sheaths being the preferred option.
