Hi!
As I carry a spydie every day I have noticed that I put marks with my steel clips on some of the doorframes in our house. Some are thin lines, sometimes the paint chips of. They are all at about the same height.
Do you have recogniced such marks at your home?
Greetings

red mag,

The way I see it you have a couple of choices.
1.Lose weight,so that you may fit through the door.(unless you are 350 lbs. of muscle,then just turn sideways.)
2.Stop all that late night boozing.
3.Stop daydreaming about all of those new knives you want and pay attention to where you are going.

Sorry, but I just couldn't resist this opportunity.

And when you finally crash into the frame so hard you break your clip off, it's time to call me.

Lets see, did catch a Police model on the door of a truck I used to own several years ago.

Clip snapped back in place.

Not to mention the Military that developed an affinity for my LBE.

Bent that clip like it was putty.

Fell out of a raft on the Buffalo River and managed to pop a titanium Police model out and into the river. Recovered it only to have it stolen out of my baggage in the Atlanta airport! Grr.... Hey how about a new release of tufram coated plain edge Police model in CPM440V. I keep trying...
 
Caught the clip of my Military on my dads office's door molding as I was walking out the door and 1 second later ripped all 4 pieces off the door frame and no damage to the clip ripped my short pocket almost off.
But hey no damage to the important thing
THE KNIFE....(Dad was not to happy)

Sal/Vince -- maybe a recessed clip like Outdoor Edge's Impulse and Magna would solve these?
 
I did not say that this was a problem!!!
First of all I checked the knife and it was fine as was the clip.
ja hailjack you are right. sometimes i feel like drunken when i walk into the bathroom in the morning. I have two children (1/2year, 2 1/4years old) and they wake me up very early in the morning and more than one time during the night.

This is a topic familiar to me.

Somehow I brush my hips on everything.

When I had grip tape on a clip it was resurfacing chairs and tables at the library.

I had a Magnum Research limited all black Police, I caught the clip on the stove and it was at 30 degrees.

I routinely leave knives on the arms of those plastic lawn chairs.

I started bending the opening the clip down.

And wearing my knives in my rear pockets helps a good deal.

I don't think there is a way around it, and I don't like the look of those OE clips, they look uncomfortable.

I merely accept and cope, small price to pay for carrying a Military and Goddard ltwt everywhere.

Or you could go to matching Morans, R and L.

For me, it isn't clips but my wristwatch. I am always banging the damned thing into stuff.

Hell, I scratch stuff all the time. I never noticed my hips were that wide... I know with all my gear on, I do have to turn sideways to fit through doors. I just thought it was a part of doing business. Wide Fish
 
I too am guilty of causing clip-scratches. The worst being on the door of my wife's mini-van. She was not too happy about that one. Hmmmmm, maybe I can use that incident to convince her I need another knife... one that won't scratch things up. Ya right!

I have caught the clip on my 98 Endura several times. So hard that the clip deformed the zytel handle. Now even when tight the clip has some play. Maybe it's time to grind down the edge and point and use it as a trainer.
 
In the confusion of our recent natural disaster, I caught a clip on the end of our new leather lounge, tore a big piece out of it. My wife still doesn't know how the rip got there and I'm not about to tell her

. I wouldn't have confessed here except you are all too far away to be able to tell her. Confession might be good for the soul but it wouldn't be good for my knife buying future

Clip evolution is more difficult than it appears. Solving one problem usually creates another. We are working on it though. Have a few ideas. Need more testing.

Titan, The function of the clip is immediate access and return. I have noticed that it takes two hands or carful manipulation to return some the the recessed clips to their carry location. I'd like to see them out in the field for a while. we have used and tested many clips in the past 18 years. Right now we make more than 10 different clips.

Hi,
Just this morning my wife caught the clip of her "Q" on the bedroom doorlatch plate.
The wire clip ripped out and was bent. No dammage to the knife itself.
Where can I get a replacement. She really loves that knife.
Thanks for any info.

About a week ago, during two GLORIOUS weeks of leave, my wife and I visited the Drakensberg region in South Africa. As I got out of my Jetta Cli, I felt a tug at my pants, but wasn't too worried about it. It was only when I saw my wife's face

when looking back into the car, that I realised that my trusty, always-at-hand Military in the righthand trousers pocket got its clip embedded in my car's leather seat, right up to the handle!!

Anyway, I could not hide this from my wife like some of you other forumites did!

I could only point out to her that it was lucky that only the clip got stuck, and that the blade was not near the seat, otherwise the nearly 2 inch hole (tear) would have been MUCH larger...

That same evening around the campfire, all was forgiven (but not forgotten) as my Military was once again the workhorse for all that was in need of cutting!...
