Anybody have a good source to send my 4 Max for a new pocket clip. I have a USA made one for awhile now and just not carried it yet because the clip is just too stiff. Thanks for any info!!
 
Have you tried just bending it out a bit? I often do this with my CS folders. While still attached to the knife, I loop a string or paracord under the clip and I pull up. Then I check the clip tension. If it's the same, I pull up a bit further on the paracord. Check and repeat. Worst case, you loosen it too much and you need to take off the clip to bend back a bit. I've never broken a clip like this or damaged the knife and I've done it dozens of times.
I don't have a 4-Max so I can't comment on that specific clip.
 
Careful what you wish for.... my sample of the Italian version is thin and weak! - more of a 'hook' than a clip really. I'd go with what ^AF said, bend yours up slightly, except I'd suggest using shims - eg, inserting sheets of thin cardboard to lift it more gradually/controlled. It's far easier to loosen up a strong clip, than to [repeatedly] tight up a weak clip. Personally I love strong clips.
