Looking for 'G-clips' for sheaths

AlexSchira · Oct 20, 2009

I've been hearing very good things about the Spyderco-designed 'G-clips' compared to tek-loks and other mounting options, and am interested in picking up a few to test out on a few different kydex sheaths. Except for a few pictures of them on sites without ordering options, I haven't seen them in any accessory inventories. Is there a traditional sales site that has them in stock, or am I better off trying to order a batch directly from the company outlet? This is for purely personal use, I'm not a maker or dealer capable of profiting off of the product, just looking for the best alternative to tek-locks. If they work on models I recommend to friends, I'll point out who designed the clip when I give out gifts.

I would try Mike Sastre at River City Sheaths, last time I spoke with him he had a good inventory of G-clips.

Spyderco just needs to sell these in their web store already, been having the same problems finding them.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they do sell them, you just have to call SFO to order them.

I kind of knew that, but I hate ordering stuff over the phone. Its an irrational thing, I know.

I guess i'm just as irrational. Rather not talk to a person, too many years of doing retail and dealing with the public at large

Having said that, Spyderco's people are really cool and helpful, in my experience.

Yeah, dealing with people just kind of puts you off them. I never called Spyderco, maybe I should give it a try. Does anyone know the price of these things from the SFO?

I've been told they run around 5-6 dollars on other forums, and have the same hesitancy about calling. I may have to find a knife I'd pay full price for just so I'm not the weirdo ordering three clips for different brands of knives.
