Hi: I´m fairly new to the Spyderco world and recently bought a Native, I want to change the clip to the other side. How is it done? Is just a regular screw holding the clip?
 
As far as I know, all the Natives have barrel bolt clips. A penny fits the slots quite well. You will need one for each side to unscrew the bolt, then pull it out, flip the clip to the other side and screw it back together.
 
+1 what yablanowitz said. You can only switch the clip to the other side, you cannot change tip up to tip down carry.
 
I found that a nickel or quarter works better to unscrew it, though. Gives you a bit more leverage.

Alternatively, a screwdriver would work pretty well.
 
FWIW, after periodically tightening the clip screw for 6 or 7 months I put a little grease on the threads (Park Polylube, NOT polyspray) and it has not loosened back up in almost a year!
