ZT0452 pocket clip

The clip is admittedly one of the biggest reasons I haven't bought a 0452 yet.

I find the factory clip to be a wart on an otherwise stunning knife. That clip looks fine on some of the more industrial/tank like knives that ZT makes, but on a curvy, sexy thing like the 0452 it looks hideous in my opinion.

It needs a machined clip like the 0454. When someone makes one like that available aftermarket, I might finally jump on one.

Gnoleb makes a milled titanium clip.

Well if anyone is still interested, I ended up ordering a pocket clip from Gnoleb's store (MXG Gear). I went with the basic stamped-style clip as I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money on the 3D machined version, although it looks nice. I just got it, so I don't have any real pocket time, but so far I like it much better than the tiny stock clip. Not only is it more proportional to the 0452, but it sits about 1/2" higher which should help getting the knife out without having to really dig in my pocket like with the deep carry clip. Will report back again after some carry time.

No offence to Gnoleb, or you, I think he generally does fantastic work, but that clip does not float my boat. I would like to see him make one that flows with the knife design a little better.

Yeah because of one of the posts above, I was just checking that out. Very tempting...

... But what isn't tempting is having to pay an extra $50 to fix (imo) the look of this knife

It's $23 and it's a really good clip and how the 0452 should have come.

I "fixed the look (IMO) of this knife", and all it cost me was time and probably about $1.00 or less worth of electricity. :)

Member here Gnoleb (Mxggear) made it. He makes clips for many models. Here's a few I have

See, those clips are excellent. That's what I was saying earlier. I've been impressed by Gnolebs work in the past, just that one clip on that one 0452cf didn't do it for me.

That's a nice looking clip, but it's deep carry, which is what I was trying to fix! Deep carry sucks, especially on a long knife! Don't know what ZT was thinking with the 452! The 450 has a great regular style clip, when it's small enough that a deep clip would actually be OK!

Sorry I should have been more specific, I was looking at the machined one which is $45, or in my canuckistanian dollars, $60.49, plus whatever shipping might cost, I didn't check that.
