Please note I am closing this thread. This thread was started and used before my forum was started but now that I have a forum of my own I decided to leave this here for the pictures and information only. Please ask any question by starting a new thread of your own. Thanks.
Ok I'm going to edit this today (May 17 2007) even though its a very old post and I do that since it was just moved to my forum at my request. This thread has been ongoing for some time and back when the site had a mini crash where it was down for a week or more I lost a lot of the pictures that were up so expect to see some red x's all over where those pictures used to be. Some of those are so old I no longer have them so please excuse that. Newer work is toward the latter pages of course and most of the pictures posted after a certain point will still show fine.
If you have a question about a pocket clip here is the place to ask it.
All my custom low rider clips are made to order one at a time. I don't keep them in stock on hand. I usually need the knife to do one for you, I really can tell a lot from pictures so if you plan to do that it may be best to attatch some with the question.
All my custom titanium pocket clips are $30 plus shipping. Shipping fees since May 14th with the postage increase has bumped that up to $7 plus or minus for getting your knife back to you. In the past I have knocked some off for multiple orders.
Finish choices are bead blasted or anodized a color. Blue jean blue, khaki and darker bronze are the three top requests for color due to how well they blend with slacks to give the user a bit of "urban camo" in the office or city environment. I cannot get a black color sorry.
Turn around time is usually 24 to 48 hours once I get the knife in hand.
Lastly I've always asked everyone that mails me a knife to please include a note with the knife detailing exactly what I'm doing or what you want me to look at, and I need this even though we have gone over it once with me already. I get a huge amount of emails and questions and many times get the same knife models over and over again so I don't always know what I'm supposed to do with your folder if all thats in the box is the knife and nothing else. If I have to take time to search contacts it means I'll have your knife longer and have to put it in the back of the line bumping those behind you ahead because I know what I need to do on them and get them out. Once I'm in the shop its very difficult to make the trip back to the house to get on the computer to find out these details. My shop is a good walk from the house but also my lap top burned up on me so the wireless is a thing of the past. Also, please make it a point to include both your real name and your screen name so I know who I'm dealing with. I don't always associate your real name with the knives I have in hand if your original contact to me was via private message using your screen name so when its under a different name other than the one in the return address I get confused or can't find you without all this info.
For pocket clips I need to know the following. The style of clip you want me to make, either standard style non low rider type or low rider, the finish choice you want, either bead blasted or anodized, the mode of carry either tip up or tip down, and finally right or left hand carry. If you saw one you liked somewhere that I did for someone else its a good idea to include a printed copy of that rather than a link since I won't have access to the computer once I'm working on your folder. Also, please be sure I can read the return address. This helps me to prevent mailing to the wrong address or having to delay shipping to you. In other words if your handwriting is bad, please type it out.
Once you've read this post and are ready to mail you can contact me at STRsBackYardKnifeWorksatgmail.com Note: remember to replace 'at' with the @ sign before sending.
Most of the posts that follow up until the last page are very old and anything said there about prices if there are any I missed cannot be trusted so look here and then to the last pages to get current.
Thanks for looking.
