I need to remove my clip from my Fantoni HB 03 but I cannot find the right size allen key for it - smaller then CRK. Does anyone have an idea what size their screw heads are or who to contact?

View attachment 758911 View attachment 758912 The Fantoni HB-01 pocket clip utilizes a metric screw which is 2.5mm (.098") in diameter and has a pitch of .45mm per thread (54.6TPI). As you can see in the picture, these screws can have different sized heads. The screw head on the orange knife uses a #6 TORX driver. The screw head on the green knife uses a #8 TORX driver.
In th second photo, you will notice that the countersink is deeper on the green knife pocket clip. So keep the matching clips and screws together when moving stuff around.
 
Thanks for the pics and response T1guy7. I Went to a store where they do have a selection of small tools and found the correct Metric allen key - get ready for this - the crew heads were 1.5 mm. No wonder it was driving me crazy LOL, but the good news it I got it removed, reformed the clip and screwed it back in place so all is well. I have no idea why they are so small on this particular knife but the good news is the problem got solved.
 
I will say I love my Fantoni knives. They keeps an edge for ever and are a perfect size for my hand. (I wear extra large gloves) I used it for a long time before it even needed a light touch up on my Wicked Edge
 
That is odd. I have 3 HB-01's and 2 HB-03's , and my 1.5mm Allen wrench does not fit the recesses in any of the pocket clip screws. Of the 5, 4 use the #6 TORX driver, and 1 uses the #8 TORX driver. Does your HB-01 have the S-125-V blade?

Oops - my bad, this one is actually my HB 03 - blade is CPM-S35VN. I also have a HB01 and a CUT. Sorry about the confusion
