Like I mentioned I used to carry a Lil’ Native and now I have switched to a Dragonfly since it takes up some much less room. I notice most of the people who replied to this thread carry much larger knives.
How do you have room in your pockets? Between my keys, Space Pen, flashlight and cell phone I have like no more room in my front pockets! How do you all do it?
Keys and keychain light in left front pocket.

Pen and sharpie in my chef jacket.

Large light clipped LFP when needed.

Big folder clipped RFP or side pocket or IWB

Phone front right pocket.

Pretty easy.

When I work security jobs I wear truspec cargo pants where they have dedicated pockets for knives and lights, might wanna check those out

Manix 2: 4V, M390, M390 DLC, 15V
PM2: Cruwear, S110V, 15V
Dodo: M4
Yojumbo: M4
Mule: 15V, T15
I forget the rest: ?, ?, ?....

I am not completely surprised... Kapara - man ;)

It is a great knife indeed, liked mine a lot.
Just a few tweaks and it could even challenge my Endura.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

At least it sports the better lock 😬

:grin-sweat

And let´s put it this way:

If one is concerned about the least or no up and down play/lock rock: The Kapara features the better lock indeed compared to a typical Endura ;)

If one goes out and uses a knife in cold, wet conditions, perhaps wearing gloves: I figure the Endura and its backlock would be a better choice. At least for me.
But to be fair: The Kapara was not excactly designed for such conditions in the first place.
