Amici,
I thought I would ask how many here ditch the stock pocket clip that's standard on all Ernie's & replace it with an after market version (titanium, anodized, deep carry, etc)?

As of lately, I've replaced nearly all mine with titanium or deep carry clips & find not only to they still preform as intended, but also look awesome as well..


Cheers,
Serge
 
I absolutely had to replace the stock clip on my mini a-100 with a deep carry. The stock clip just didn't get it down in my pocket enough to be comfortable in jeans. I hated carrying it stock. Once I did that it became a perfect edc for me. I don't have any waved models though. I feel like I wouldn't want a deep carry with a wave.
 
I also really like the stock ones. Never really liked silver or shiny ones and the finish on these are the most wear resistant I have found so I just leave them. A deep carry does sound nice for an A-100 though.
 
So far I have replaced both clips on my Commander and Mini Commander with Ti deep carry alternatives - I just prefer less knife on display when carrying. As to any concerns about the effect on the Wave action - it doesn't make a bit of difference. Works perfectly with either the standard or a deep carry clip...

I have ordered more deep carry clips for both my CQC-7's too ;)

I find the stock to have the perfect balance for reversing grips on a lot of the models, like the 10 I'm carrying today. The curved depression works perfectly for a pivot point.
 
I had to put this one on my baby!!! It just fell into my lap from a great friend, and I had always wanted one to put on this very special knife!

I have wondered if deep carry clips would effect how well the wave works? Good to know it doesn't.

- I'll be the dissenting voice. I tried deep carry clips for my Traveler and CQC-10. I could not get the knife to wave reliably in any scenario. The deep carry clip was thinner and moved around a lot more than the thicker clip. I also had a much harder time actually grabbing the knife since a lot more of the handle was in my pocket.
 
I also prefer my knives to completely disappear when using a deep carry clip. The Emersons still had a good part of the handle exposed.
 
The mini a-100 goes deep in the pocket. I work in an office and jeans or suit pants it works. I ended up getting one off eBay from pops custom clips. It's also a little thinner than I'd like. I can see myself spending more on something a bit nicer someday.

I've tried a couple of deep carry clips and don't like it them so I've been staying with the stock clip. Some day I may splurge for a Steel Flame clip.
 
I never change clips on my Emersons, but I saw a Steel Flame Bushido clip on one of my friends customs and I've since been looking for one to put on mine.
