Who carries their Spyderco in a pocket organizer?

[cptdean]

I’m on the hunt for an all-in-one front pocket EDC wallet, along the lines of Hitch & Timber, and others. Maybe to carry my Chaparral, cards, pen, etc.. Do any of you have a slick solution you could share? Any feedback is appreciated.

You might have a look at these. I don’t have one personally but I hear good things about their products.

Check out the Allegory EDC Front Pocket Pouch. Seems like a good concept.

However, I'm a minimalist when it comes to what is in my pockets and any sort of organizer just adds bulk. I have a Maxpedition organizer that I used to transfer my kit from backpack to backpack, but switched to a simple zipper lock freezer bag because it does the same thing but better IMO.

I carry my Spyderco knives in a nylon belt pouch, with Velcro flap.
In colder weather, a Delica is clipped to shirt pocket for easy access when sitting.

Pocket clips tear up vehicle car paint, interiors,,,, furniture in the house,,, etc.

I have sold off all of my other folding knife brands and remain a loyal Spyderco customer since the mid 1990's,,, continue to dislike the pocket clips and remove them from many of my knives.

On paper it sounds like a great idea. I do not know how it would be in reality. There are some nice leather pocket sheath organizers out there. Just pick the one you like. Today, I had a Dragonfly, ASP 16" baton, pocket change, and a smartphone all in my right pocket. I am not sure there is room for an organizer.

Yep, that’s basically the search I started with. Just wondered if anyone here is bothering with one.

I've used them for jobs and honestly they annoy me to no end because I hate having things hanging off my hip. I've been thinking about giving them another try for work because I carry a lot of crap and my pockets are full but I think my knife would still be in my front pocket even if I did use one.

Now one thing I'm doing more and more is to carry everything I need for a day's work is that I'm now using my Victorinox fanny packs more than I ever did. And it just makes perfect sense to have all of your hardware in one easy access carrying case that doesn't weigh much and is very convenient to carry every day. Now there are a lot of really good fanny packs on the market and I just seem some new ones that really looked cool in the latest edition of "OFF GRID" magazine. And you can carry so much more than you can carry in pockets.

To be honest I've never even looked into pocket organizers. Who makes good ones? Who sells them other than Rip-Mart? I will take a look at the pocket organizers but those fanny packs made by Victorinox are rugged, well constructed and very well organized.

I use that one for work. It has a D-fly salt in it (among many other things).

I like that I can dump and reload my pockets for work/not-work very simply using it.

I made this for my Buck 110’s. Back or front pocket. Fits a pen too, though I’d keep it in front with a pen. It’s okay for a clipless knife. Keeps it upright. I made one for my 112 too. It’s only for the knife. Not the quickest method for using, but I love Buck’s lock backs.

This was what I was thinking of when I did the search. That looks great and is a perfect solution for carrying a Buck, especially the new Smoke Jumper CPM154. These sheaths are handy. However, my pockets are already overloaded most of the time.

I carry my Spydie left front pocket, (I’m a lefty) either by itself or sometimes my keys are there too. But I often carry my custom backpocket organizer from MacGregor Customs when I need more. I sent him a rough drawing of what I wanted and photos of the images. This was my second of three orders with him, a slim wallet, this, and a larger wallet for my wife. All with amazing artwork and all at reasonable prices!

Apparently I can’t post two images at a time anymore?

For everyday carry, for either the front or back pockets, I use this carrier below from Kevin Lane (Etsy - EDCLANE) which is a solid choice for around $20. It is shown with a Maxamet PM3 and an AA flashlight in the main slots. For bigger (read back pockets only, no sitting) I use the Maxpedition Micro Pocket Organizer addressed in the responses above, it easily carries a PM2, AA flashlight, 3x5 notebook, Space pen, an Anker Powercore phone recharger and a host of other goodies, much larger than the Lane carrier but really not "pocketable" except for walking around.

The carrier from Kevin Lane also has several zippered pockets on the top and back side for additional carriage of credit cards, cash, etc and is available in two sizes and can be customized to your liking. The one shown below is the smaller version Kevin has and I eliminated a zipper pocket on the side that has the two pockets shown. It was just cumbersome for me trying to unzipper that pocket with the knife and flashlight in place.

I also have a handmade one I use for the Buck 110, and pens (and SAKs and Multitools depending on what I'm carrying) :cool:

I only use my front pockets, and I don't carry a lot. My keys and card wallet go in my left, and my phone and knife (clipped) go in the right.




I do like the idea of carrying a pen, notebook, and light, and this product looks like it'd fit the bill. I'd have to carry a smaller knife in it, like maybe my Chap FRN (if it'll fit), so I'd probably still end up clipping my PM2 or Para 3 to my right pocket a lot of the time. Maybe I just want to skip all the extra stuff and stay minimal.






Thanks for all the responses so far.

Last time I used one, it was the Bill's custom case urban wallet. Didn't have use for the zipper pocket, and Bill didn't want to do one without it, so I ended up giving it away

I just saw these on GPKnives https://www.gpknives.com/brands/hitch-and-timber.html

I wouldn't exactly call it a pocket organizer, but I do organize my knives in my pockets. At least 4 for carry, but no more than 9, as it's bad luck.

Google Popov Leather in Canada. Sells “pocket armor” in two sizes. Here’s a small with something you can probably identify.
