:thumbup:
This is my first Spyderco knife that I've owned. I bought it from soonerstateknives.com for a great price on ebay, and I couldn't be happier.
I've always been a Benchmade fanboy as my grandfather is big into their knives. I like all his BM's, so that what I decided to start buying after getting past my "Junk knife" stage. (You all had one too, admit it.
)
I will say that I'm not a fan of the way Spyderco's look. I'm big into extremely simple, plain looking knives (I've carried a Kershaw Leek for the past 6 months, if that gives you an idea). I've only seen a few real "sleek" versions from Spyderco, and the Walker was one of them. I love this thing. Blade size and grind is perfect for my EDC needs, it's dressy yet still a workhorse. This is also my first experience with good blade steel (And VG-10 rocks my world). I've had some nice steels on my BM balisongs, but I never used those for cutting, just collecting and flipping).
I think this is going to be a perfect EDC for me. Good steel, good balance, small yet fills the hand, extremely tight lockup and good looks. Spyderco has a winner with this one, why don't they still make it?
Anyway, the original point of this thread was to ask for the thread size for the clip on this knife? If you guys are familiar with it, you know that it has a 3 hole pattern that has one screw up high, then two next to each other below that. In an effort to make my carry more discreet, I plan on taking off the top portion of the clip, and drilling/tapping two holes closer to the top of the handle, so the knife sits lower in my pocket while carrying.
As you can see in these pics, it would be an extremely easy thing to do. All I need to know is what drill/tap size to buy.
Thanks for any help. Sorry for the wordy post, I'm just exctied about my new toy.
