Leek On For Rotation

[Moodino]

I just retired the knife I've been carrying for the last year and have just substituted the Leek for the next 12 months.
I've learned a lot about it already. One thing. I tried reversing the clip but the clip screws just spin in the holes. What's with that??

Sounds like there may be something wrong with the threads on either the screws or the holes. I have not had that problem with any of my Leeks.

I have had it happen a couple of times on pivot screws, not on clips. If you haven't already tried it, gently lift on the clip while turning the screws. If that fails and you really need it off, send it in to Kershaw and let them help you. Which leek did you get ?

are they spinning while the clip is in, or spinning while you're trying to put it in? On my bump after the screws are all the way unscrewed they spin in place, and can be popped out with needlenose pliers. If the threads aren't engaging when you try to place the clip back, then I don't really know what the cause of the issue is, I'd assume an error in the tapping or threading of the secondary holes, or perhaps something happened to them over the life of the knife.
