Easiest way to remove the coating from a ZT clip?

[NeverMore1701]

I think my 0350SW would look better with a satin clip instead of the standard black. Have any of you folks done this? If there's a relatively easy way to do it I'd love to know!

You could email ZT and ask for a ZT0550 1st Gen Clip..

I did, they said they were out.

A chemical stripper will take it right off. (Aerosol type, wear gloves and be careful)

I stripped mine with sand paper to match a satin bladed 0300 I traded Chester for. It looks pretty good but I couldn't get all of the black out of the creases by hand no matter what I tried or how long I ground in the crease with gritty sand paper.

I asked for a spare clip and made extensive notes explaining I wanted the uncoated clip but received a coated clip. I'm not the most succinct so it may have been a TLDR issue.

I think all they see is "clip for 0550" on the preprinted mailing label. I've got a 0550 first gen though so my new coated clip is just going to be swapped on to the 0550 and then I'll satin that clip. Just haven't had the time to do that with all of the other projects in various stages I have waiting to be completed.

Doesn't get any easier than that!

Thanks a ton man!

I traded my 0550 and 350 clips around! Stick is the clip man!

Huge props to Stick!

Ah, Glad it got there. I got backed up with sending bad_juju's clip. Couldn't find that sucker, but it popped up last night when I was cleaning the apartment and it's going out today.

Woot!
