Low Rider Pocket Clips For Folding Knives

Update: Jan, 2016. see here for clip info. See below for updates. Older but current clip info.
See here for Prybar info.  Mini Ti Pry order info


 I like doing the clips on some models for folks when people call for them. I recently found some blanks I had cut out that I may as well use. Those include Para 2, Military and Para Military original, JYDII, Leek and Southard patterns that I have which I can still do. These are 35 each via check or money order or 40 for the first and 35 for each additional clip after that first via pay pal at http://paypal.me/StephenRice

 As I have always said I'll do them as long as they are called for.. In this case I will do them until the bags found are used up. After that we'll go from there. Thanks

Great pocket clips! I've added your blog to my blog's links list.

Thanks for that Stormdrane. I don't know why it shows as 0 posts on this post but it is the case. I had approved your comment and it should show on the front page but does not. At least it doesn't for me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey, that looks like a great idea. How much does it run?

Steve A/K/A STR said...

Easier to just forward you to my info. thread. All the answers to your question and more are here my friend. Thanks for asking. If you are not registered on blade forums you may have to register to read this. Not sure. The process is quite simple and there are no strings really. Just give them a valid email and you can join up. Thanks for asking and for the compliments. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=525771

It depends on the Case model in question. I've done some but few for folks. Some are more trouble than others. One of the main problems I've run into is trying to weave a mount area in between the pins which as you can tell on some are quite difficult to see after polishing.

Another is thickness. If the knives are not properly thick it can be hard to make enough threads to grab. You also want to be sure not to cause the knife to have the action of the blades to become compromised as they rotate.

All in all its very hard for me to tell on many pinned models. I have done them though as I said, both in lockback models like the small Buck 501 and Gerber Slimline Folding Sportsmans to the full size 110 and some slip joints like the Case models that use a back spring.

This is very cool. I have had some visitors from my website on Schrade Knives inquire about replacement pocket clips for their knives and I have sent them to this article. Your clips look very professional. If you are interested in some sort of direct collaboration please contact me.

I'm pretty easy to reach on my forum at bladeforums.com in the makers section or by posting a comment here. I have to moderate them here to keep the spam from being posted and thats been a bit of a problem but I check in at least once a day for new comments.

I try to avoid working much on pinned type knives, particularly those that don't lock and have multiple blades but knives like the LB7 LB5 and the knives that came with clips are often times something I help people with when they have one that broke or got lost or something. Thanks for stopping by.

Steve,

Thanks for the information. I will try to send people to both your website here and your bladeforum section. Typically, the people asking me about clips are looking for replacement clips because theirs has broken.

I spent a little more time today looking at your custom knives and modifications and I really enjoyed taking the time to do that.

best wishes,

Dan

Thanks again Dan. There are a lot more pictures of pocket clips I've built for folks posted on my forum over the last few years. I can't say I do a ton of them but they are usually for people in situations where the one they have is either broken or not working or as in your case something like that only on a knife that is no longer made so its not like they can call the company and get a replacement. Its satisfying to be able to help in those cases.

Do you have a clip for SOG Twitch 2 or Kershaw Volt 2?
Love your work, exactly what I'm looking for!

Hope to hear from you
