I just ordered an Endura and when it arrives I want to switch the clip to tip up carry. Over the years I have had 4 Spyderco Police knives and everytime I try to take the screws off I strip them. So my question is what size screwdriver does the Endura take and where could I buy one? Thanks in advance for your help.

I take this is an SS Endura, as the frn wouldn't need a tool to change sides.Anyways,if you have a Sears nearby go to the tool section and they'llhave a set of micro screwdriveers around $15 (torx,phillips, slotted,they're all in there).It's a great little set to have,especially for knives.
Are the Police and Endura screws the same size? I have a set of micro screwdrives and the smallest of the phillips seemed to fit the Spyderco Police very good but every time I would try to unscrew it the screw would round out and I would end up taking them off with a pair of pliers (which is very difficult I might add). I guess I should have asked in my first post if a phillips head is the correct type to use on it.
Well I started to try and take it off with the micro phillips head and that wasn't working to good so I got out my SwissTool and bam problem solved. Last time I tried to take the screws off with a Leatherman Charge and I couldn't get a grip with it because it just kept slipping off the screw. The SwissTool never slipped off and it only took one turn on each screw to get it loose enough to take it off the rest of the way with the micro phillps head (it didn't round out the screw once it was loosened). I am very glad I switched from the Charge to the Swisstool... its much better quaily like switching from an Old Timer to a Spyderco 
. The Endura is a very nice knife with a great blade shape and great feel in the hand (I wish I would have gotten one sooner). I especially like the fact that I have a SS knife with tip up carry now. I can't wait to put it to some heavy use to see how it holds up. My only complaint about it is that I would really like to see a S30V flat ground blade on it. I know that would make it more expensive but I would definatly be willing to pay for it.
