Spyderco Des Horn C153G...

[Barman1]

Thanks for sparing me a spot of bother, Barman1! Hadn't looked close enough to notice this and it is worth mentioning to prospective buyers.

@ CapitalizedLiving: great comparison photos with the Air... thanks! Those mods look pretty sweet, too :thumbup:

Actually it's the pivot itself (not the screw) that's the problem in this case. To remove the clip you'd need to have something in place of the clip under the pivot screw head to achieve proper pivot tension.

I believe Steve found a great fix for that. Sketchenscales.com

Shorten the screw and you're done. I could have swore I posted a pic of this on page one of this thread...

Another fun fact... If you shorten the screw you can still attach the clip, so why this wasn't done in the factory I will never know.

It's actually just pivot barrel that needs to be ground a bit shorter to allow the screw to seat without the clip. Fairly simple mod.

Ah, thank you. I could have sworn it was the screw. Still... Seems like something the factory could have designed in.
