Custom Pocket Clip How To ?

[skorpyd]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.

I like a deep carry pocket clip on a folder. I have decided not to purchase a knifes because of the type of pocket clip.

Does anyone know where to get materials and information on making a custom clip. Supplies, How to articles, Tools etc.

Welcome to ... Maintenance!

Here's a link to a recent thread on pocket clips http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=744478 -- not exactly what you're looking for but STR has a couple of posts that are good orientation for anyone working with clips. In fact, you might like to invite him to join your thread here. He is an expert and making and modifying clips,and is really good at explaining procedures.

For what its worth I wrote an article for Knife World in Feb, 2010 on how a person with a small shop or not many tools could make their own clips. You can probably buy that from them if you get in touch with them.

Thanks for replies gentlemen, Would that Knife World article give any supplier sources. I have looked at a few of the knife kit supply places and found pre made clips but not raw clip material. Possibly they have it and I just didn't find it also. I will see if I can get ahold of the article.

Check with the other knife making suppliers. 410 stainless is a good choice.
