I'm trying to find a deep carry clip with an older screw pattern:

The tip down on the left is what I'm looking for.
If I do a search of the usual suspects, I get more the newer right side equilateral looking pattern.
I need the flatter scalene one.
Any ideas?
 
I'm so dumb!
While searching for that dumb clip pattern, it suddenly occurred to my why the early knives were tip down: you were supposed to grab by the hole and flick open! I've been doing it out of habit, but I just realized why the early clips are all like that.
okay, I'm about to bust out the drill press and do some hole adjustments...
 
According the man at Pops Custom Clips, the older Spydercos use a Benchmade pattern.
Needs a shallow bend for the clip is so close to the blade.
I ordered one for an Osborn and we'll see how that goes.
 
Follow up:
From Pops a deep carry clip for a BM Osborne.
The shallow bend doesn't interfere with blade so much:

My other older knife soon to have a new clip too:

So older pattern matches BM; I did have to ream the holes out some to fit the larger screws on the Spyderco.
Thanks to Pops for all his help.
