Picked up a Wild Wild Turkey from The Kershawguy a few weeks ago and it has been my almost constant companion since it arrived. This morning I snagged the clip on a chair and snapped it clean off. Since this model wasn't made for long and hasn't been made for years do you think Kershaw would still have a clip for it or is there another clip off a different model that might work?

Carrying it without the clip isn't the worst thing in the world as it's still a great knife but I hate to see my turkey with a broken wing.
 
Kershaw doesn't have pocket clips or parts in general for overseas knives, such as the wild turkey. However, I'm pretty sure that they still have some complete models in stock (would be China though, not Japan). You can call them to check if they do, and just send it in to warranty and they'll replace the entire knife.

I'd rather keep the knife, just wanting a new pocket clip. Are you saying they'd send me a new Wild, Wild Turkey because of a broken pocket clip?

Yep, Kershaw doesn't carry parts for overseas knives, only USA knives.
 
Thanks Dave. I'll just carry it like a true pocketknife. Might be the nicest knife I've gotten from you and that says a lot cause every one so far as been a gem! I'm not giving it up for anything.

They won't send a new Wild Wild turkey, because they don't have any, the closest they have is the China made G-10 hawk.

Okay, I thought he was talking about the 4150 Wild Turkey. I didn't know that there was an older Wild Wild Turkey.
 
the wild wild turkey ( mod# 1430) was made in 1996-1997 titanium and ATS34, the 4150 has been made pretty much forever and doesn't have a clip by the way.

Sorry for the crappy scanned image but here's the Wild Wild Turkey I'm talking about.

Great little blade!

PM sent Dave. Thank you so much.
 
Wow, Dave is the man! I just found this post, and was going to offer to sell my spare Ti Wild Wild Turkey, but upon reading further, I see that it is not needed.

Anyway, gotta love the old High Tech series! (Wish I could find another Ti or G-10 Hawk to put in my EDC rotation, as I can't bring myself to do anything more than fondle the ones that I have...)
 
It looks like the chinese #1530 G-10 Hawk clip may be able to serve as a replacement, though I don't actually have a Wild Wild Turkey to try it with.
