Hi Newt! Checked out that link. Funny, first question on my mind was "why would anyone want to do that with a knife that already has a clip?", and you answered it at the bottom of the page... Ok, so far. But that raises another question. Why then start with a Spyderco Endura or other knife with a permanent plastic clip? There are plenty of other good tactical folders out there with removable clips, even Spyderco has a few I believe. So the question sort of still applies. If There is a good reason <b><i>not</i></b> to use a clip, why start with a knife that has a permanent clip?
