Lets see your CPK in Leather!

No, I spend hours scouring various suppliers looking for new mounting solutions. When I find one that looks promising I order a couple and do some testing. Rarely I am happy with one, but when I am I order more to have supply on hand for my customers.

The market is flooded with cheap junk that I can't recommend, so I have a literal box full of clips, mounts and widgets that will never see a sheath. I got a similar one to these at the same time and it is thick bent soft steel with a painted finish, sold for about $2 less.. garbage.

These clips are hardened 420HC, and advertise the black as TiN coating. The hardware is custom and rebated into the clip so they are not a drag point when in use. I try to buy American whenever I can but these are made in China, but I consider them made to high-end American standards.

I think I've seen some of the crappy knock off versions of them. Good to know

Knowing Chinese goods, probably the same exact thing sold under a different brand, but they could be out there made to lesser specs as well, never can tell without testing. I'm sure at some point they will be fairly common, but I will be happy to take credit for their growth in popularity
