Don't recall doing a low rider for this model before but I figured its just the first of more to come so may as well get some pics up showing some as I can for when asked.

This one is ready to go home Flashpoint.

We're all squared away so I'll get it in the mail to you this afternoon. The second clip for your 110V Shallot will be in the box with the original clip both of which will be in small zip lock bags. I managed to lay the knife as low in the pocket as possible due to the way it has to sit and at the same time the lanyard hole is not blocked so you can still use it if you decide to. No way to really get it to sit deeper I don't think. Not easily anyway.

Thanks

Looks great. Going to make carrying these that much the better and it looks like the new ones will match the frame better. I've got an NRG 2 that I going to put some custom scales on soon and I'll be sending it your way too.
 
str...figured i would post this quick question since i have the same knife.....your clip looks great by the way....my question though is how the heck do u get it apart?.....the screw by the pivot has that black circle on the other side and it just spins when u turn the pivot screw.....i have tried putting stuff under the clip and screwing it down....didn't work at all.....i gotta get this thing apart to regrind the blade.....ryan
 
Try putting the blade on a bind by leveraging it sideways on a flat table or in a wood vise in your shop and then turn it once the pivot is on a lateral stress bind. If it doesn't work then try it with heat from a wood burner or soldering iron by heating up the head of the screw good and a bind to stress the barrel sideways to help hold it still and it should give so the head turns for you to back out.

Guess what the mail man had for me today. Yep, you guessed it, bills....


and a low rider Shallot. I'd have to say that this is a mod that all Shallot owners need. It drops the knife down comfortably out of sight. What's best is when drawing the knife I can place my middle finger in the dip of the clip and that places my index finger perfectly on the flipper. So without having to reposition my hand I don't run the risk of fumbling my knife which was a problem I was having with my Shallots, especially the thinner ZDP-189. I'm a happy camper :D
