Yes, yes I do.Go for it!! You know you want to!!!![]()
I should totally start stabbing things with my slipjointsClips are so common......
You'd be mutilating a potential Stabber Jack....watch out for the karma bite![]()

I do.The fat spear is one of my absolute favorite things about my 85,however I voted clip it. Its yours and I feel deep down you wanna clip it

That'll give me something to do with this cat!!!Yes. Clip it so good you can skin a cat.
Thanks for that mockup, I like it a lot.
The forum knife will do that, but then this will match the forum knife a little closer!I vote "It's your knife, do what makes you happy."
Personally, I wouldn't convert to a clip point. I'd rather add another knife that has a clip point, like a Barlow, to my pocket.
Fat bottom spears, you make the slip-joint world go round!voice of my Mum: It is your knife and your right to mutilate that gorgeous fat spear point as you see fit I suppose.
New bumper sticker: "My knife, MY choice."I've done that with a 72 (spear to clip) but I like the 85 as is and have plenty other clip blades. So, no I would not modify it... but it's yours to do as you wish and if you do mod it, it may become very special to you.
Your knife, your choice!![]()
Clip it
I would probably be more interested in the results of a related poll with the question, "Would YOU clip this bulbous spear blade if it belonged to you?"(My response would be a resounding NO!)
Looking forward to seeing the result of your mod!

I'm looking forward to the swedge challenge on this one. It has the potential to be something special.because of the profile of the fat spear, i think you have the potential to have a very nice swedge and upswept clip
