Sent my old school Endura in for repair - this had the integral FRN clip, I had broken the tip off and damaged several of the serrations. 15 business days later, back in business. Knife is clean, smooth and sharp. More than happy with Spyderco service - thanks for getting my knife back in action.

Endura looks great, it's always nice getting an old blade up to speed again.

I was also quite impressed with the Spyderco Spa. I sent in a ZDP Lum that I needed re-profiled (previous owner didn't sharpen well), plus an original C83 Persian that needed a clip and to also be re-profiled. The knives came back with factory edges, a new clip, and Spyderco had even buffed out most of the scratches on the blades and micarta. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
So they drilled and tapped a new clip where the old FRN clip used to be? Thats pretty groovy. I can see where the scale texture is smoothed out where the old clip once resided. Regrinding that old blade is cool too. I've said it many times, but I love a user knife like this that has earned its keep.
 
Wow that's great. As said before, it's always nice to give an old friend some new life.

So what are the clip screws screwed into? Just tapped into the FRN?
 
Another reason as to why spyderco are among the top knife manufactures, and why I buy their products.

Instead of machine screws, Spyderco uses small sheet metal screws with deeper threads that "bite" into the FRN. I have an old-school Endura that was reworked this way more than 10 years ago and the clip and screws are still going strong.

Stay safe,

Nice, thanks for the reply. Luckily all of my FRN clip knives are still fully functional and now I carry newer models. Plus being left handed in 1998 when the new Delica/Enduras came out in ambi I snatched those up immediately.

It's no wonder why I've been carrying a Spyderco since. :thumbup:
