Pocket clip push on lock bar or not

[DaveH]

Does the pocket clip push on the lock bar or not?

I thought I read the pocket clip was not supposed to exert any pressure, or just touch the lockbar.

Anyone know?

Not, or at least not supposed to.

It's up to you. I like to have pressure on the lockbar when the knife is closed, but no pressure when it's open. That gives me a good balance between secure carry, but not too tight.

Since the clip is so easy to bend around, just experiment. A loose clip can be "clacky" when the knife is open, but a clip that's too tight makes the knife stiffer to unlock.
