Not to start an argument here, but why would anyone ever carry a “tactical folding knife” in the tip-down configuration? Years ago, when I got my first Spyderco, the idea of tip-up carry seemed foreign and sketchy. It was my first knife with a pocket clip so I had never considered the option at all. Now I can’t wrap my head around the idea of carrying a knife with a pocket clip any other way but tip-up. It just makes sense. Draw the knife and it’s in the natural upright position you’ll use it in. Just flip open the blade.
Today I saw an ad for the Benchmade 391, which they advertise as a “first option battle blade,” and say they designed it for “tip-down carry to enhance the speed of deployment.”
What gives?
