Thanks, I was using Photobucket and I tried every single link and none of them worked, not even the img one. Not sure what the deal was maybe I should try it again though and see if the computer I was using had any thing to do with it...but I doubt it.

It's funny, it never crossed my mind that the pictures "looked" dirty with the positioning of the knives. I just wanted a set up where I could get in closer and they had some overlapping of the two. But after all you guys with your perverted minds spoke up...it is apparent. lol too funny.

Thanks. :D

The yo 2 is a really good knife for utility. It's not working for me as an SD knife however. The tip up position doesn't allow me to deploy with any fluidity. The tip down position makes the knife sit too deep in my pocket. I'm still practicing with the tip up, but at the moment, I have to pluck then knife, then adjust my grip to be able to reach the thumbhole.

I've had the same problem with larger knives and also with the Yo2 if I
carry tip up. When I have a larger knife clipped in a front pocket and I
can't access the spyder hole when pulling out, I stick my thumb into the
pocket and feel for the bottom of the knife with the other four fingers on
the outside of the jeans. If you pull the bottom of the knife up with the
your fingers sliding against your jeans, you can slide the knife up a little
and can then grab it with your thumb lined up on the spyder hole. When
you pull up, the top of your pocket presses against the webbing of your
hand that is located between the thumb and the first finger and it pushes
the knife clip off of the top of the pocket.

Whew…., that was hard to explain and it probably didn't make any sense,
but it works for me. Like anything it takes a little practice and what else
do you have to do while you are walking to the bathroom or to the oak
tree out back.

I actually do it that way BAL. I kind of claw the knife out while trying to steady it with my thumb. It's just that when the knife is out, I still have to sort of turn it sideways. The turning sideways is where the trouble happens. Well, a bit more practice maybe.

Thanks for sharing all the pictures. I will have to pick one of these up as soon as my budget recovers from Christmas shopping.
