Customer Reviews
As other reviewers have said, but cannot be stressed enough: you must install these clips in a certain, very particular way. The first one I tried to do I didnt known the technique and it was a frustrating hell; I took it into BladeHQ and the gentleman there had never installed one and so also didnt know the technique. He finally got it on the knife, but it took over 30 min.
To do it literally in five min flat, start to finish: remove the old clip. The take either the OEM screws or the ones provided with the clip and insert them into their respective holes on the clip. They will hang in the holes, resting on their heads. When all threw screws are in the clip, only then should you line them up with the receiver holes on the knife. You have to line up all three at the same time, but it's easy enough. Screw each one down just enough to stay in place, then go thru and torque them down. Done and done.
Mr. Lynch should consider adding an instructional card with his nice presentation box, I think.
There’s a hole cut in the clip, presumably to allow access to the screws. Makes sense. The problem is, it isn’t wide enough in any direction to screw them in properly. You have to screw them it at an angle that’s INCREDIBLY frustrating and difficult and also runs the risk of damaging the knife because the screws might not align properly with the threads.
I just don’t understand why it would be designed like this, and how anyone involved thought it’s ok. Sorry to be so negative about something a lot of people love, maybe I’m just missing something? Definitely going with a different deep carry clip next time.
When I bought it Steven told me it was a little tough to install. After looking at it for a couple of minutes I came to the same conclusion others did. Put all three screws in their holes before you try to install it. Really easy if you do that.
I bought another one for native 5.
Thanks!
Install wasn’t that bad, after a little research. Try holding it clip side down and “loading” the screws on the supplied hex key and screwing up. Just barely catch the threading on all three before you tighten them down. You need the play to get all three lined up. Took about thirty seconds, once the old clip was off. Don’t over tighten or you will never get them off.
"Place all three screws in their holes BEFORE you place the clip on the knife." is the best way to install.
I used mine on my PM2 for three years, and it has been perfect the entire time. I carried it 85% of that time as my primary knife. I'm frustrated waiting to buy a second one, so I can stop swapping my only one, between these two knives. Thanks Casey!
