A couple mins on the mini grinder later. . .

So I picked up this cheap little Two Sun TS-81 a couple weeks ago and was astounded by its quality. I fell in love with it instantly and began carrying it around everywhere and using it every chance I could. It’s almost perfect except for one fatal little flaw. That pointed pocket clip.


Dumbest design I’ve ever seen. How the hell could such and otherwise flawless execution get by them like that? The point would dig into my hand pretty much no matter how I grabbed it. Not only is it pointy and sharp, but it also sticks up at an angle ensuring a sharp hotspot.

So today I finally had enough, took the clip off, headed over to my mini bench-grinder, and a few minutes later - voila! Perfect pocket clip.


Can’t even feel it now. This little knife is now without a shadow of doubt the best budget knife I’ve ever come across in my life. It’s certainly my favorite. I think if Two Sun made this little change, and more people even knew this thing existed they could sell a million of them. They are fantastic little knives that punch well above their weight.

I had exactly the same experience with a Two Sun! The low-rent knife came out of the box with sharp, square edges on the handle, and a stamped pocket clip that was insanely uncomfortable, ready to tear up clothes and my hands! It really looked like the manufacturer had started out with a good formula (D2 blade, stainless liners, laminate handle, beefy construction) and forgotten a couple of the finishing steps to keep the price curiously low. Then after forgetting or not bothering to finish the handle, they bolted on a cheap, off-the-shelf pocket clip.

The pocket clip was beyond repair or modification. I intended to keep this thick D2 blade on hand at my workbench, so there is no need for a clip. I radiused the handle with an 8" cloth wheel and took the sharp corner off the thumb studs. Now it is a smooth and very comfortable heavy folder with a tough blade for very little cash and a couple minutes with simple tools. I wish I had a before picture, as it really looked like a manufacturing mistake. It looked like it just missed one or two work stations.
