I carry a Cold Steel AK-47 with a different style wave-opener but it opens with any pants I wear. In fact, I think it opens exceptionally well with khakis. Folding knives over $150 don't bode well with me - I would NEVER pay $200 for this knife with a frame lock.
BS. I use Emerson Wave knives with 5.11 pants every day, and have never once failed to open my Emerson when I wanted to. Slight screw adjustment required (with blue loctite), a drop of CLP, and I don't care what pants you carry it in.
I've carried in jeans, slacks, and dockers with no problem, and I constantly pull my Emerson wave knife when I'm not in public. Granted, it shredded my slacks after about 50 pulls, but the knife still opens, even on weaker pants. Try 5.11s. They're perfect.
