Wire clip for native and caly jr?

[Wrace]

Do they make a replacement wire clip I can get for my native CPmS30V and my caly jr zdp?

Thanks

I think fitting a wire clip to a Calypso Jr would take a considerable amount of work since it's set up for a three hole style. As for the Native, while the only clip Spyderco has ever used on the C41 is the flat steel barrel bolt style, it might be possible to fit the wire clip from a C78 Native III with a little judicious dremel work. Simple, compared to fitting one to a Caly Jr, but still not a "drop in" proposition.

I think you mean Native III and Caly3, both of which come with wire clips. You should be able to get a replacement from the factory if you call them up.

As for retrofitting wire onto a knife that had a sheet steel clip, it's probably possible, but would require modification as the Deacon suggested. Almost so much modification that you could replace the entire handle scales and/or buy the wire-clipped model for a similar price. If you don't want to do the dremeling, STR might take the job.
