I kinda went HAM this weekend on a bunch of Spyderco knives, with LynchNW deep carry pocket clips.

I know these are all Spyderco knives so far, but I have clips for many Benchmade, Chris Reeve, and Demko knives as well to install someday. I bought a bunch of these over the summer but never got around to installing any of them before now. But my favorite Benchmade non-auto folder came with AWT aluminum scales and a LynchNW deep carry pocket clip and I love it. The knives on which I installed the clips so far are as follows:

Para 3 in blue G10 with S110V blade
Para 3 in camo with S45VN blade
PM2 purple G10 with Cruwear blade
PM2 teal G10 with S90V blade
Native 5 with fluted CF scales and S90V blade

The Blue Para 3 got a blue to purple "blurple" fade anodized P3 clip with lanyard hole notch on one side.
The Camo Para 3 got an "industrial heat" P3 clip with lanyard hole notch on one side.
The Purple PM2 got a blue to purple "blurple" fade anodized standard clip - short like the P3 clip but compatible with PM2 (no lanyard hole notch).
The Teal PM2 got a long black clip that has the "blacksmith" finish and "long" matches the factory black clip's finish and length.
The CF Native 5 got a Para 3 clip with blacksmith finish, that fits the Native 5 CF grip like it was made for it.

I have a Coyote FDE Cerakote on order for the Camo Para 3 above, and will try moving the clip on it to another Spyderco to see how that works out. I still have a PM2 with forest green Diamond Arc cut G10 scales and S45VN steel on the way, so...

I should note that the clips did come with some extra screws in tiny little envelopes in the box, and one packet was labeled "black" that came with the Blacksmith finish. I used those on one of the knives, but I do believe that they used a T5 head on their own screws, rather than the standard T6 heads that Spyderco uses for the clips. But they included the wrench with the screws. I did not open the other packets out of fear of losing the tiny screws.

I also bought separately some blue thread locker from LynchNW when I ordered the clips, and I used it.
 
The teal PM2 looks especially nice!

I’ve done MXG Gear clips to a few of my knives.
A few years ago when I was looking for Lynch clips they were harder to get. I emailed back and forth to Casey once or twice. He seemed like a great guy.

I think it’s cool that he’s cranking them out now.

They all look better, thanks for posting the pics. It gives someone a good look in case they’re wondering about getting a different clip for their knife.
 
Has anyone had experience with the LynchNW Cerakote clips and have feedback on how tough it is?
 
So, were you bit by a spyder? is that what prompted all of this? ;)
an amazing build up of great looking knives sir!

A radioactive spider for sure!

Like I said, I bought over 15 LynchNW clips this summer, but never got around to installing them. I still have to install 3 CRK clips, and about 6 Benchmade clips, and 2 more Spyderco clips. Over half of my Benchmade knives already came with a deep carry clip.

And yes, I am trying to figure out why I have 20 Spyderco and 40 Benchmade knives in the first place...

I have a red cerakote clip on a Native 5, it’s at least 4 years old and has held up incredibly well all things considering. Just one chip in the finish where it landed on my driveway.

My FDE Cerakote clip just came in, so I'm supposed to install it on the digital Camo Para 3. I'm going to see if it would look good with any of my other Spyderco before I remove the clip that's on the Para 3 in the pics above.
