Clip flips

[STR]

That old sayin when it rains it pours came to mind today at the mail box. I got a bunch all at once.

Shown here are some that came today for lefty clip flips to tip down carry and a couple Emersons for lefty to tip up carry. All using the original clips and all from the same customer. I must say I really like the little Mayo folder by Buck. Thats a bit of a gem right there that I have not seen before.

Knivesanonymous found me I think. Seriously thanks Tim. Here are some before pictures for you and tomorrow or Sunday as I get to these one by one I'll post the after scans.

Knocked out your two Emersons, the BenchMade and looked over the Spyker and the Mayo.

I've written you an email as to why I have not moved forward with the Mayo or Spyker but will repeat briefly here. The Spyker does not have a metal liner on the opposite side so flipping teh clip is problematic there but also the factory clip is curved the wrong way to work for tip down lefty and will look horid in tip up because of the shape. I didn't want to proceed without your prior knowledge and consent.

The Mayo clip double duties as a lock support to keep from hyper extending it out the wrong way when releasing the lock. Its sorely missed when you take it off and I fear its a bad move to flip it for lefty carry as a result.

I can do it but the clip won't look as good over there either. In short I'd leave these two alone if it were me. Your call though.

Really glad to see this thread since I plan on sending you a mini darkstar like the one in the pic for a custom lowrider clip for tipup carry.

Should be out to you on monday.

BTW, the Ouparator you made for me is awesome. I have been using it at home a lot and love the blade. It makes heavier cutting jobs a breeze.
