Hello

Just yesterday I received my new Buck/Mayo TNT 172... great knife, very comfortable in hand an ligthweigth..

But I'm having a lot of trouble with the clip... it doesn't catch the edge of my slack's pocket and I have to actually open the clip a little to let it enter.

I'm thinking of bend a little the tip of the clip; but I'm affraid it could break easyly, since I never had done anything similar with titanium.

It could be bended a little using solely some force with pliers ?... or I'm risking to break it ?

There is any other solution to this problem ?... I'd really apreciate the advise.

Thanks a lot !
 
Don't bend the clip ..... wear the knife in your pocket and sit down a few times ,sometimes pocket clips stretch after use.... better to be too tight than loose and you lose your knife while sitting..... it happens.
 
Hi Guys I agree with Earl! My EDC is a Buck mayo 179 hilo. Clip is also very tight. Thats good! I just pull the clip out slightly with index finger to put in pocket. GREAT KNIVES (even if not USA made)
