ukpk's clip fell off...

[kenthenoob]

in art class today, my ukpk was in my pocket and the clip just fell off, along with the torx screw. apparently, the torx screw shaved off the innards of the handle. should i e-mail spyderco about this or just add some superglue? i was considering the superglue since it'd be the most economical. any help is niiiice. thanks

That one is tricky, I would honestly suggest to notify Spyderco about it and let them see what happened there (involves sending the blade to them). But if that will require lots of expenses on your side then superglue looks like an option. Lets see what other members are thinking.

Hmm... I suppose that's one downside to not having any liners. And I love liners

it kinda screws into the thick spine of the knife.

Like Ken said, the clip screws are screwed into the 1/8" thick metal backspacer/spring.

I wouldn't use superglue, it might be a bit weak for a clip. (and I'm not sure its elastic properties are good enough for that too).
maybe flooding the clip cavities with epoxy, putting the clip, the screw, and putting epoxy again up to the surface of G-10 would be better?
Anyway it might be quicker to ask Spyderco people. Since you're in the US, it wouldn't cost you too much if it is covered by the warranty (you didn't over-tighten it, did you?).
