I like the wave feature and my current EDC is an Emerson CDC7 Wave. Being retired I have only about 7 - 8 pairs of pants I normally wear - mostly blue jeans and khakis. I commandeered my wife's sewing machine and sewed a small vertical pocket into the right front of each. I removed the clip from the knife so it fits in the pocket and there is no clip to give away the fact that I am carrying it.

Both the Emerson tanto and Al Mar are great knives. I just think the Al Mar is slightly better. One little complaint about the Emerson is that the bevel on the blade is on the left side - exactly opposite what it should be for a right-hander (cutting away from yourself).
