What the title says. I used to Loc-Tite every screw on a knife I took apart including the pocket clip screws but I am starting to doubt the effectiveness of this practice. Please give me your opinions!

Thanks!
 
Nope, i dont loctite anything because i might want to switch the pocket clip or its position at some time. Its also a pain, if i decide to take the knife apart. Ive carried for years and ive never had any screws drop off, so dont see the need.
 
I have never had a screw spontaneously come loose on a knife.
If a screw is going to come loose it probably won't just fall out, you'll notice the pocket clip getting a bit loose first. Since most clips have more than one screw, you almost certainly won't have multiple screws fall out at once and the pocket clip just fall off. Seems unnecessary to me unless you have stripped threads.
 
Yes, I have LocTited screws on some of my carry knives; I've had screws back out and I've come close to losing them before I started putting LocTite on them.
 
If you want to there should be no issue as long as you use service removable loctite.
