I recently bought a WE Knives 703 and I absolutely love it, the action, the looks, it's great. The one thing that keeps bugging me is that it has a milled titanium pocket clip that is very stiff. This makes it really hard to insert the knife into my pants. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks
 
Vacation in Hawaii?

Seriously, not sure on these milled ti clips. It might bend a little but be careful if you try.
 
I had a milled clip that was too stiff once. I stuffed a thick piece(about as thick as a nickel) of plastic, so as not to mar the handles, under it for a few days. Just let it sit in the desk. Worked well enough.
 
Milled clips drive me nuts! I have only had a few knives where the milled clips are done right. And pretty much every bent metal clip I have had is either perfect, or extremely easy to adjust to my preferred tension. And bent metal clips seem to do better with different thicknesses of fabric.
You can bent it out to relieve the tension, but you have to be VERY careful not to go too far. you can always fix that, but it can turn into a PITA if you do it with little care.
 
I guess you have to stop wearing pants. :p

Or try what TLE said. I'd be wary of bending a milled clip myself.

I use playing cards. They are slick and you can easily slide a few more cards into the clip to slowly open it up.
