Native Clip issue

So...

The other day I sat down, and evidently my Native was riding in my pocket weirdly. Somehow, I managed to generate enough force to bend the pocket clip and shoot the screw the retains if across the room. I was able to get it reassembled with no particular difficutly, but the clip is pretty much shot.

Now, this isn't a thread complaining about Spyderco, for whom I have ample, fanboyish amounts of love for. Rather, its a question of whether I should just order the clip and fix it myself or if I should send it in. On the face of it, this seems like an easy question, but the main reason that I wonder if I shouldn't just send it in is because this is a knife that I haven't carried a whole lot despite owning it for some time. I bought an Endura shortly after buying this, and while I enjoy both, I just carry the Endura far more frequently. Anyway, I guess I am just wondering if this seems like a "normal" problem or if it is weird enough to pack my knife up and send it off.
 
Just send an email asking for spare clip and screws.
From what I gather sounds like all you need to do is put a new clip on.

I'm kinda confused on why you think ya need to send it in.
 
Oh, mostly because I am worried that I stripped the screw out or that there is a bigger issue or something.

oh..well, when they send you a new clip they will give ya a new screw as well.If you're worried that you stripped the threads in the hole, take the screw out from the other side and see if that fits o.k.

Sounds like you just have a bent clip, and thats no problem at all.Getting sent a new one should remedy the problem.

If it doesn't you can always send it in then.
