Excuse me while I finish weeping after seeing those pictures.....
Scott, really attractive knife!
Clip? Personally, I take my clips off, so a naked option would be nice. Of course a clip is a great feature at times and when it is I prefer a tip-down carry. Totally neglecting the issue that it is safer that way, it is also far easier for me to deploy the knife that way. I grab the knife by pinching the heads of the pivot screws, when it clears the pocket, it rotates right into my hand and is positioned perfectly for opening. No shuffling up the handle from the but end. Safety and convenience- it's the best of both worlds. And of course it would help differentiate your knife from others that are tip-up while giving the consumer greater choice.
Of course, my fantasy clip would be one that would collapse into a recess in the handle somehow when not in use. That would take the clip to the next level of total integration rather than added-on.
