G-10 Spyderco Civilian

Can you do a low rider for a Civilian? Seems like I saw one recently, but can't remember where.

I have but I don't recall the clip it uses so you need to show me or remind me please. Thanks

Here's a pic of one.

Oh! No I don't recall seeing that one at all. Looking at it and then looking at my schedule I am going to go with a pass on it. I'm just not taking many one off orders that require that kind of time and effort to get something done for them anymore. I just don't have that kind of free time with the back log I have in the routine requests. I don't expect I'll be doing many specialty fit clips anymore just for this reason. Thanks for asking tho.

lol....I understand. That one does look a bit complicated.

I also have an earlier Civilian that has a three hole clip pattern that looks similar to Emerson's pattern. I'm not sure if the holes are exactly the same distance apart.

Think you have anything that will fit it?

I would need to know for sure before I'd be comfortable mailing it out but it appears to be the same. The screws may be a different diameter on that one based on the age so I'm thinking if I was to make on say for an Emerson or Benchmade Griptilian or one of Calypso Jrs or many of the other Spydies using that pattern I'd probably do the wrong size. They could be smaller in diameter which means when mounted it may move side to side on the mount from too much play in the holes or the screws could be bigger and not even fit. I don't recall seeing this clip before but if an Emerson clip fits it that would tell me part of what I need. It doesn't tell me the hole size to drill for the screws tho and that can be important.
