You may have bent the clip out. If that's the case, you'll have to remove the clip, bend it a bit with a pair of pliers until its contact point is pressing firmly again on the Spyder logo, then put it back on.

I bend clips regularly, and it takes a whole 3 minutes to fix it. My brother on the other hand has broken 4 Spyderco clips so far. I think he's only got one knife with a clip on it at this point, lol. I bent the crap out of my dragonfly wire clip the first time I ever carried it. Was a pain to bend back, so I don't really put that one in my pocket anymore.

I wish that was the case it actually looks like the screws are just too long and I'm bottoming out on the frame Either way doesn't make me not want to carry it, it's a great knife

I've heard (and experienced) a few times that the other holes often aren't tapped all the way.
If you have a really good torx bit that you know won't strip them, try to really reef on em and you MIGHT be OK.
But on the other hand, screws certainly aren't taps....
Just a thought.
 
Although my D4 still has its clip, half the time I simply drop it in my pocket. It takes up relatively little space, and somehow with whatever else in in there, it's live and let live. The D4 is forgiving that way, unlike some others I have that are prima donnas. I have smaller knives that seem to hog more pocket space.

I am a fan, The only thing I don't like is the FRN feels a bit malleable at times and my pocket clip is loose with the screws tight. Guess they really don't want people carrying lefty tip up...

It's possible you have the wrong screws? I know for a fact that if you order the same clip, but for an Endura, that it comes with slightly longer screws...

I often do that, too. I keep the clip on it, not only because I clip it sometimes, but it also provides better purchase for my fingers when I open it.

looks like the lock is not engaged 100 percent due to some dirt maybe. Otherwise it's flawless. :thumbsup:;)

Must be how close I was to it. I can assure you, it was locked. This one hasn't hardly been used enough to be dirty :).

I love that zome handle. This is actually the next D4 that I've been thinking of getting!

It is a cool color, especially in good light. Do it!

On your picture the lockbar is not sitting flush with the blade and if you look where you depress the lockbar that piece is equally recessed into the handle.

This is what happened to my delica, let me tell you. When it was brand new. Depending on how hard i would flick it out it would lockup differently. Its hard to remember now. Think when i opened it gentler it would lock but then when i would put pressure on the jimping it would click into place with a subtle tick sound. I tried cleaning it but it wasn't helping, it would still lockup not flush from time to time. I took it apart and put it back together and never had an issue since. I didn't really notice anything out of place taking it apart. Maybe a bit of factory dirt.

Ah, makes sense why I didn't know that: the only Delica I own is a ZDP-189 Delica 4.

Back when all Delicas were saber ground, the ZDP was, too. I have one, though I later convexed it to improve cutting performance. The full flat ground models are better slicers, while the saber ground model is more robust. The Emerson opener model is also saber ground.
