I did these recently and thought I'd post them. Both turned out pretty good for first attempts at these type fold over pocket clips. Both are 6AL-4V titanium that I bead blasted after getting them made up. This first one is on a Para Military to set it lower in the pocket leaving it tip down like it came from the factory. No holes were drilled in this knife. I just used the existing ones from the factory and the old screws too. The old clip was the template for the new one. This new 'low rider clip' brought the knife down deep into the pocket by 3/4" or more.

The second one is an AlMar Nomad. This one needed to be turned into a tip up carry from the original tip down it came with. It has hardened steel liners. Drilling and then threading one hole for a 2-56 screw was necessary. Increasing the size of one existing handle scale hole and rethreading it to a 2-56 was how I dealt with the second hole.

I think they turned out pretty good.

Nice! Slaytanic does all my clip moving for me. I'm usually doing the opposite. I like more shallow carry so I can get it out more easily. The ultra-deep carry of the SERE 2000 kinda drives me nuts, but I leave it because I don't have any other deep-carry knives and figure it could come in handy for woods walking or something where it could fall out. But mostly, I'm a city boy in a knife-friendly workplace so I lean toward a faster draw over deep carry.

Nice work, though!:thumbup:
