Made myself a deep carry clip for my skyline

[Spike G]

I ordered this clip blank

and made myself a deep carry clip

then i polished it

 

[grownstar]

I like it :thumbup:

Well done! I've been kicking around the idea of doing this with my BM 51 but it's a skinny, vertical hole clip and I'm not sure if I can pull it off.

Nice job :thumbup:

 

[benchwarmer380]

That is perfect.

That's pretty friggin awesome! You selling them?

 

[Spike G]

Thanks guys! I'm still a noob aroud bladforums but i've been around knives my whole life. I've gotten some interest from people for buying these so i think when i get back from this trip im on i'll order some more blanks and make some more for the skyline and possibly PM2's. I burned through a titanium drill bit trying to get the screw holes drilled out and went through 2 dremel grinding bits to get the grooves for the screw access but overall it was a fun project

I think i'm gonna try it on my 51 as well. the trick will be getting the uniform color with the flame haha its too pretty to touch as is

 

[AddictedToGear]

That is such an improvement, good job with the clip.

 

[northwalesBill]

Make sure there's no patent for that and if there isn't apply now! It's a very clean looking professional clip

Great job, I absolutely abhor the factory clip on the Skyline (especially for tip up carry).

That clip looks awesome :thumbup:

I forgot to mention it's titanium!

 

[Eastwood]

Good looking clip. I think I'll try one this weekend.

That is awesome!!! You know, though, that posting something like that on here is going to create a massive influx of requests for additional ones, starting with me!! I want one!!

[KnottyEagle]

Very nice!

 

[Acesn8s]

Great idea and execution. Better looking than the original.

Might I ask if you had to harden the blanks, and if so, how?
