A Couple Pocket Clip Changes I'd Recommend

AF · Apr 23, 2015

1. The pocket clip on the Hold Out 3 is too strong and it appears that it was not upgraded for the new model. On my AUS8 version, I had to bend the clip so that it was no longer touching the scale to allow for a smooth draw from pocket.
2. The pocket clip on the Mini Lawman is mounted too far from the end of the handle. I actually thought this was changed on the AUS8 version but maybe not. I just saw a photo of the new XHP version and the clip mounting position leaves a lot of the handle sticking out of the pocket.

Also I'd like to add that if Cold steel is going to DLC coat their blades, might as well DLC coat their stop pin and Tri-ad lock. Mines already chipping out

And how about DLC coated pocket clips?

^^^ +1

Also, if Cold Steel is going to put a sharpening choil on knives, make sure to sharpen it all the way. it does not make any sense to put one and not sharpen all the way.

+1 on the DLC on lockbar. Love the awesome blade coating on my new AL, but the lockbar is still teflon coated, and chipping out already.

+1 on the DLC pocket clip & hardware... CS, you just need a bit more to perfection... and please re-design the pocket clip... refer to makers like Spyderco in this regard... I went with a Code 4 instead of the Recon 1 just to avoid the "clip issue"...

I have been waiting for a Spartan with a Turkish twist bade and walrus I very handle. Flipper, frame lock and bearings.
