Just ordered 535GRY-1, Need new non-deep clip (and screws?)

[Plumber576]

Finally got around to ordering a 535GRY-1 today, a knife I've been looking forward to purchasing.

Unfortunately I don't care for deep pocket clips like what it comes with. It's a personal preference.

3 things:

First, where can I find a titanium non-deep pocket clip for this guy? Based on pictures it should take any Benchmade pocket clip, but I'd really like for it to be titanium, preferably a natural or blasted finish.

Next, does the clip only have 2 screws? Looks like only 2 screws are used for the clip it comes with.

Last, if it does only have 2 screws, where's the best place to buy replacement screws? Will standard Benchmade screws work?

If you know a place that carries the clip I'm looking for with screws or sells both please link them up.

Thanks!

P.S. Haven't posted here in probably over a decade. Looks like there's been a new coat of paint or two while I was gone. Looks good!

If I were you, I'd ask Bemchamde to send out a split arrow clip and clip screws, and they'll send them right out to you for free. That might tide you over, and it'll get you the extra screws you need, and cost you exactly nothing.

If you really want a non-deep carry clip that is also titanium, MXG gear has a number of them available (more deep carry clips, but they have at least 3 non deep carry models that'll fit Benchmades). Though it looks like they are just down till late February, so that might take a while.

MXG Gear. They mostly have deep carry but some regular clips. They include screws so two birds...

If you decide you want to try out at BM split arrow I have one I’d trade you for the Bugout clip. And I should have an extra screw around too.

Edit: I see from your profile you are in Ohio, as am I. Whereabouts? I’m in Wooster.

Forgot about the split arrow clip, don't care for those either, but I like them better than deep-carry clips. Replaced them on the knives I have that they came on. I'm sure I could dig one out as a temporary fix.

I saw the MX clips but they're sold out so I was looking for other options.

This is the style I prefer and probably the one I'd order, if in-stock.

I may just call Benchmade and order one of their standard clips with screws if I don't find what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the replies so far.

There are some custom Ti clips on ebay. I use Emerson clips on all mine.

This would be my my exact path although I prefer the standard black parkerized clip.

Thanks for all the replies, guys. Found an old knife parts bag I had with a Benchmade or Emerson clip in it! Unfortunately I don't have any spare screws and since my Bugout arrived I can confirm there are only 2 screws on the clip.

I think I'll call Benchmade on Monday and buy some screws.

When MX gear re-opens at the end of the month I'll consider buying that Titanium clip. I do like it.

In the meantime, two screws will hold it in place.

I just landed a grey Bugout and really prefer the look with a standard Benchmade clip.

I certainly can't speak for Benchmade, but I emailed them for a deep carry parkerized clip and scale screws (for a severely abused 580 that I bought for dirt cheap) and they sent 2 clips and a whack of different screws all for free. At least the butterfly tax is good for something.
