Pershian, Does Not Clip Tight To pocket?

- Start date
made like that?yeah, what SIFU said. if it doesn't work enough with the clip still on the knife (usually that indeed DOESN'T help very much), then here's what i do (i actually did this yesterday on my brand new Mili):
remove the clip. careful, use the exact right sized tool!, now the clip is off the knife and can be bent way further/better to make it tighter when you put it back on, put some threadlock (loctite or whatever you got) on the screws and scrwe put the clip back on.
it should now be tighter. if it's too tight (i had that too), pull the clip outwards alot with your finger with plenty of force a few times, it'll now be perfect.....
best of luck to ya
PS. oh yeah, and when you've screwed the clip back on with the loctite on the screw-threads......: let the knife sit still on the table for at least half an hour to make sure the threadlock dries properly. best way is to position the knife clip down on the table, that way you won't get any excess threadlock on your blae/pivot

Use the weakest bonding loctite IMO.

yup, not want to have it superglued on it forever
btw: about the threadlock: if you don't have it at home, its no biggie, it is not really necessary, but mainly for peace of mind of having your clip stay on definitely
