So recently I swapped the clip from a benchmade adamas to a crkt m16-14sf. It worked out very well as one of my only complaints with the crkt was the clip and how it carried. So, does anyone else have any other knives that you've swapped the clip and it's better for it?
 
I replaced the clip on my Benchmade 710 with the split silver arrow and it looks much better than the drab black coated stock clip it comes with
 
Yes! I had to drill and tap for tip-up right-hand carry, but earlier this week I put Skyline style black ZT clips on my user Kershaw JYD and Spec Bump. Had to sand a flat spot on the tail end of the Spec Bump, but I didn't feel bad about it, as the previous owner had dropped it and dinged up that corner of the G10 already. I was going to do the same to my user Speed Bump (USA production), but a regular drill bit wouldn't do the job (liner must be hardened?), so I may have to resort to inserts in the G10. I'll edit my post with pics Monday.
 
I have a Griptillian and a Contego. I really like the Griptillian and carry it most days that I am off work. I have never been thrilled with the clip though, it does not grip as well and allows too much of the knife to stick up out of the pocket.

I tried the Contego clip on it and loved it. Two weeks ago I emailed Benchmade and told them I was not pleased with the clip on the Griptillian and the clip on my Contego fit and seemed to work better.

A few days later I got an envelope in the mail from Benchmade. It contained 1 black deep carry clip and 1 silver deep carry clip, and spare screws in each color.

I have been very happy with the improvement in how my Griptillian carries.

That is a common swap. I did it on my Griptillian too.

The best clip swap I have ever done is on my CRKT M16 tanto. The small clip was replaced with the one CRKT offers on the Auto version of their M16 series.
