My Oddessey clip keeps coming loose. What size torx screws are keeping the clip on? I love this knife! This has replaced my BM Ascent as my general work knife. The only things I would change would be the clip (make it deeper), and the double click opening (the first click is the detent ball sliding off the blade and the second click is the liner snapping into place).

Glenn,
Early Odysseys left the plant w/o locktite on the screws.. a little on yours will solve the loosening of the clip.
I'll pass on the belt clip feedback to our design group. Field testing is slated to start this month, then there will be a design review. And items such as your will be addressed.
AS far as the double click. We try to have a real positive detent because CA knife laws are explicit about gravity feeds. In order to keep the action smooth, we need more detent to keep gravity feed to a min. If you control gravity feed with blade tension, you lose action... a catch 22 of MFG linerlocks. We have been triming in the position of the ball height with the new double liner / steel backbone design, and hopefully we can find a happy meduim between all concerns.

Thank you for the feedback.
Jeff

Jeff, thanks for the reply. Do you know what size torx screws are used on the clip? I am having a hard time finding a torx screwdriver small enough and it would be easier to call around if I knew the size. Thanks.

Thanks Jeff, I don't think I will have any problem finding hex wrenches small enough. Thanks for the reply.
