That looks great. I love the new sidewinder clip. Your standard clip is also great idea. I especially love it with warm weather...allows it to be attached to all kinds of lighter summer wear. This newer thinner blade would be even better for the hot weather! Somebody is going to love it.

Thanks! I've been needing to make a smaller clip for a while, but the original dosen't scale down very well and it took a while to hit on a design that I like.

Nice score! I have my 2nd custom coming from Justin King very soon and I still probably would have purchased this if I had seen it earlier...

Love the design, Justin! That new clip looks great, too!

That looks incredible. I really, really like this knife. Good job.

The "Sidewinder" clip is just a belt clip, correct? The pictures are a little dark, so I might be missing something, but looks like it hang the sheath vertically from the belt. Is that correct?

Thank you! The Sidewinder clip is designed to attach to a waistband or belt, with the sheath positioned inside the waistband or behind the belt. I will probably adapt the design to include slotted fastener holes to allow more mounting options such as horizontal. The standard QD clip I make is symmetrical and is more adaptable to different carry positions, but is large enough to be clunky on a knife/sheath this size. Both are pre-tensioned to spring shut firmly and have small cleats to help anchor them to a belt or waistband.
