Finally, a deep carry Southard clip that looks good!

Jibbles · May 31, 2014

Just picked one of these up on the major auction site. Guy has a few more for a reasonable price. They're 6AL-4V Titanium, and there are different colors available. Just a heads up to fellow Southard owners who want a deeper carry option.

Up until now most of the deep carry clips I've seen for the Southard looked sort of goofey. This one seems to work with the overall shape more. Also, the contact point on the titanium seems to be in the exact same spot as the factory clip, which is cool.
I'll chime in with some additional thoughts once I get it and carry it. I may end up doing a light acid wash to match the titanium frame-lock side of the knife, but I sorta dig it the way it is as it matches the blade and hardware.

Very nice! I'll have to search and bookmark that seller for future reference.

ETA: Found it!

He has several other cool designs. I'm tempted to buy a bunch of others, lol.

I got one for my Manix 2 lightweight. I like the looks of it and I like the way that it fits in the pocket. However the titanium doesn't seem to take a 'set' as well as stainless steel. It just seems softer and easier to bend.

Cool, more options. I still like the STR clip better though.

Agreed. It's my one gripe, but what it lacks in retention I think it makes up for with looks and deepness of carry.

I absolutely love STR's work, but I don't feel that it matches the lines of the Southard like this one. But more options are definitely a good thing!

I agree, that one looks really practical and nice!
