Need help
Not sure if Benchmade makes these already. Looking for two types of knives.
I am professional who wears shirt and tie with slacks to work. I always have a knife in my pocket. In this business environment having knives sticking of your pocket is real not acceptable. I normally wear my Elishewitz 690SBC1, it a very nice knife and the best part is the pocket clip sits up high, which allow the knife to sit very low in the pocket. No one real notices to the knife.
Now for the two types, one for dark pants and one for Khaki pants, the pocket clip should be in a flat texture.
OK Benchmade about making such a knife?!?!?!?!?!

Depending on the blade length your looking for, the 770 is a nice knife.

The 707 Sequel is nice, small, and black so it will blend in with dark colors.

I carry a 940 for my dressyish knife. Has worked out well so far.

Prolly just need one to stick in your pocket.

Back in the day....

I've had folks notice, no matter how hard I'd try, notice the knife clipped to my pants. No matter how hard I tried to conceal it. Never really got into any hot water about it, but amazingly enough, I've had people notice it.

As well, you figure with all the knife pimpers out there, you can probably get someone to fabricate one that's deep carry for you. I could be wrong later, but I don't see them making one with a really really deep pocket carry (ala the Al Mar SERE, which is probably the deepest pocket carry clip I've seen).

With that said, I'd go with the 770, 705, 310, or 707 to carry in the office.

I forgot to mention the 740/745 Dejavoos and the new 890 Torrent, which have the deep carry pocket clips. Unfortunately, the pocket clips have more of a polished finish to them, so they would be more noticeable. They are also a little on the bigger side. The 745 Mini Dejavoo might be quite close to the dimensions of the 690 closed though.

If I had to name one that hasn't been mentioned already, in my opinion the 707 sequel is a nice little knife that could qualify as a "dressing up" knife... It comes in some nice colorations and is small enough not to scare anybody in an office setting.

No matter how much you try to conceale it, the clip will always be noticed especially by other knife carriers. My question is this, why clip to your pocket in the first place if concealement is an issue? Just drop in you pocket and be done with it, better yet sow or use a large sefety pin to vertically close off a section of the pocket and drop your knife there.
It will always stay vertical, attach a lanyard to it for convenient deployment and your set to go.
