Steel Flame LBS Pic Request

[calypso699]

Can someone please post a pic of theirs installed? I'm wondering how the clip sits on the LBS for both the 3.5" and 4". Thanks!

Don't have any LBS parts other than factory, but I am curious to how well the clip rides in the pocket with the bigger stabilizer on it.

A few quick pics w/ the iPhone - apologies for the giant piece of lint that I didn't notice until I cropped these, knife came out of pocket..

And, many thanks to Jensen for the awesome Knuck dressing up the last pic!

Not bad, a bit tighter but not an issue for me. I think others had problems with it catching or hanging up on the pocket..

Thanks for the info man!

Not a problem Shane I hope that you like it. I had a sf lbs on my old 24 and it did catch on the seam at the edge of my pocket. I did love the look of it but ultimately ended up selling it.

Thanks for the pictures AZ2AK. I got my LBS in the mail but can't install it yet since I not have the right size bit. I was wondering how much it would overlap with the clip and your pictures helped. One more question...did you have o bend the clip at all to get some tension off the screws? It seems like you would have to.

The screws can handle the tension, whether the edge of your pocket can handle it or not is the question.

^^^ Yep. No bending necessary.

Note that the clip is set up for tip-down carry, which is different than all of my other XMs. I prefer tip-up, but the clip covers significantly more (i.e. almost all) of the LBS that way. So, in the interest of displaying the LBS I switched this one around.

I do like it, it's pretty cool! Not an item I'm used to carry but I think it will become part of my EDC. Now, to avoid looking closer at all of those cool bronze and copper ones David keeps posting pics of

Thanks guys. Was able to get the right nit so I installed mine today and it's indeed tight! I don't mind the added tension though since it will make sure it stays in my pocket. Thanks again for the pics and info.
