When I put the clip in the only little focal position it should be, ya know, like it should come from the factory, that one wouldn't snug down. I thought it was grabbing one thread and slipping. Not grabbing it good enough, apparently.You have a screw loose?
Clip screws from my blurple on the left, two remaining from the cranberry on the right. The same length, but the ones from the cranberry are bald out toward the end.
The interesting part, is the hole that lost it's screw took the screw from the blurple perfectly, but the other two would not take the blurple screws. Can't figure that one out.

Mine is supposed to be here Monday. Since I gave you a hard time I'll probably end up with three stripped screws when I switch ends.

Happened to me with the new 52100. Something going on with the new clip screws?

It's a mystery to me why they insist on installing it to please the minority from the factory. If the screws were functional, though, it wouldn't be a problem.

Not just you. I've been in on most of the recent sprints and mine have all been flawless. I don't know what Spyderco is trying to do here. I keep telling my wife this is the last one, and it is a sprint of exclusive so I can't pass it up, and a few days later they come out with another. Who is going to pay for our marriage counseling? Is Spyderco gonna do that?
All kidding aside, Spydero is knocking it out of the park this year. This recent red/M390 PM2 I got is flawless and I love the color. I will be getting the M4/DLC Mnaix 2 as well.After such a tremendous 2017, I am not sure where they can even go in 2018, but I am sure they will surprise once again. Spyderco is absolutely at the top of the mountain in the knife world right now, and I don't think it is even close.

They should turn up on the Exchange for less than that.

And with 1200 purchased, with many buying multiples, I am guessing they will start showing up sooner rather than later.

Well, one is on evilbay right now for $247 shipped but if you're patient you should be able to buy one off the exchange for less than that..maybe $180 to $200?
These just came out so I definitely wouldn't pay $300 or more for one.
