Clip-o-nomics

what about clip magnets - a clip with a *strong* magnet on it that you attach to your pocket, then the knife itself is clip-free for better handling, but can still attach itself to you. Maybe it's inpractical, just an idea.

Sal,

I appreciate the offer. I like the fact that the Delica4 uses screws and has liners and bushings. These were the main reasons I bought a BM Mini-Griptillian after handling both it and a Native a while back. I was hoping that the Native III might have these features. Maybe the Native IV will. I like the shape of the Native blade and handle much better than the Delica.

Probably just a bit of "form over function" on my part but I don't like the look of the hump (Absent on the Native) that accomodates the hole on most Spyderco knives. I also like the look of the Manix/Mini Manix for this reason. My friend's Mini Manix is one of the nicest folding knives I've ever handled.

Hopefully there will some day be a "Micro Manix" or some such similarly constructed knife that would be easier to pocket without a clip.

You should really try the D4, it has a very good clip

I added a clip to my Al Mar Hawk ultra light. I discovered that it can be used as a tie clip on the few occasions that I wear a tie. Haven't had anybody take notice of it.
