765 Score / clip question

[wright88]

Just got one of these on the bay (using a 20% off coupon and scoring on an auction) for $130!

It was listed as new but had stock photos, so I didn't know what I would actually get. Showed up without a box in a silk BM bag, and looks in excellent to like-new condition. The only issue is that the Ti clip looks like it is bent (doesn't make contact with the scales). I tried bending it back with my hands but it's too thick for that. Suggestions?

I may just end up buying an aftermarket clip for it (I've had my eye on one).

My 765 looks just like that. The Ti clip isn't really flexible enough to have it touching the handle and still be able to go in and out of the pocket. The 781 Anthem is the same way.

$130 is a CRAZY good price for a 765 no matter what shape it's in! Glad you didn't get duped with the stock photos!

130$..... woah.

Looks tits mate. My mono is back with bm right now. For some reason I thought the clip was flat. But it didnt touch the scale that is for sure.

Nice grab.

I've had similar issues w/ aftermarket Ti clips. You can try to shim it...or grind/file/sand an angle on the backside...or try aftermarket.

Good luck. Let know how you make out.

Like Cypress said. The Ti clips don't really flex so we have to leave a gap so you can get the thing in your pocket.

Thanks for all the replies! I've been carrying the 765 nearly every day the past week and am loving it! It's a wonderfully designed knife. I like the stock clip more than I thought I would, too. It works well surprisingly well. I did end up ordering a custom deep carry Ti clip a week ago. I won't have it for a month or two, but I'll try to get some pics of it on the knife after I receive it.
