Showing off a custom titanium pocket clip I fashioned for my recently acquired MSC SJ75 half stealth.
I love Strider knives but have always had a beef about the pocket clips. Functional as they are, they leave way too much of the knife out, which where I work is not a good thing.
I like big folders, and the SJ75 with its 4” blade fits the bill perfectly for me. It has a slim profile and for the size, isn’t too heavy.
So, I decided to make a clip out of Ti scales I had after cannibalizing a Chinese-made $10 clone I bought at e-bay some time ago.
Below is the result of a few hours of hack saw, dremel and elbow grease.
I used standoffs and 2-56 screws from CKK knifekits. They fit perfectly in the lanyard slot. No modifications of any kind to the knife itself were necessary.
Might still replace the screws with flat head ones (have them on order).
Otherwise, very pleased with the result. The clip is sturdy yet unobtrusive in any grip (at least in my mid-size hands). It also adds a bit of an extra pressure on the lock bar – by Mick’s own admission, a weakness in the design that he has been working on fixing.
