Sleeving for techno pocket clip?

[Gmrpnk21]

Hey everyone! I figured this would be a good place to ask this question. I am getting my techno anodized, and I don't want the pocket clip to rub and scratch it up. Does anyone know what sized shrink tubing I would need to fit over the clip?

Not sure, but probably not terribly important as it shrinks pretty dramatically. I would be more concerned that it would not stay taking your knife in and out of your pocket.

Hit up Mcmaster Carr for some shrink tubing with an adhesive lining. That will keep it in place.

Heat Shrink will conform to anything you put it on, in 40 years of using it no matter what I put it on, if I wanted to take it off, I had to cut it off.

Go to Radio Shack and get a sample pack, shouldn't cost more than a couple bucks, use the next size up from the snuggest fit and shrink that one on.

I electrically anno'd the scales of my Techno a month ago and carry it daily. The only scratching from the clip I've encountered is directly under the clip, so it's never visible unless you physically push the clip aside.

I think I used 1/4" when I did my sage clip.

For the guys who have done it, does it alter the grip your clips have in pocket? I have not tried this, but those wire clips on some models do have some side to side flex that can scratch the Ti or whatever scales that is visible.
