Glad I found these here before I went I got some random make off of eBay. I heard good things about these clips, especially on the Spydeco forum. I understand a "black cerekote" option is now available. At first, I was going to do the "oxi clean" method I read about earlier to darken the clip...but a black cerekote finish would look a whole lot nicer, IMHO. I just have one question and am waiting a response from Casie about this. How well does the cerekote finish hold up? Does it chip or flake over time? I know he said these are guaranteed for life...I just don't want the clip to start chipping on me. Has anyone ordered the black cerekote option, and if so...how has it held up?? I'm going to pick one of his up for sure...just not sure what version yet. If the cerekote is strong and won't chip easily...I'll take that path. But if it is prone to chipping, I might try the "oxi clean" method instead. And lastly, is there a choice in color of screws you can get? Stainless/black? I'm sure Casey will respond to my email right real soon...just thought I would ask here because I'm impatient....lol. Honestly, he got back to me within an hour of my first email. I heard wonders about his work and plan to order more for some of my other pieces!
