Para 2 - can we hope for a 4 way clip?

[224477]

The current Para is good, but why is it missing a 4 way clip?

Sal,
any plans for an ambi Para and Millie ambidextrous?

When we redesign the knife, we will surely add a 4 way clip.

Wow, hats off to :spyder: Sal and crew for taking input from the end users!! I am so used to the "hush hush" ways over at Benchmade, dont get me wrong I think they put out so incredible products but I do believe they missed the boat when it comes to using a company forum for what it was intended for.. This is rather refreshing..

IMO all Mils should be Ambi and up or down for our people in harms way . Thank you for thinking of them ! Regards MG2

Thanx knife Junky,

I think this explains our position:

The entire "business chain" from; raw materials, invention, design, manufacturing, marketing, selling, distributing, shipping, warrantees, insurance, credit, etc. ALL EXISTS to service the ELU (End Line User). Remove the ELU from the equation and the entire business chain falls like a house of cards. We all work for you!

Hi Edge-e,

A deep pocket wire clip is challenging for tip down. That's one of the reasons the design hasn't been updated. A 4 way wire would be my preference, but it's a lot harder to do for long term use than it might seem.

Thanx MG2,

We always think of our troops first. How 'bout them Seals in Somalia? :D

I agree that the option is critical for soldiers, police officers, fire fighters, etc. For them it is a need. I also understand the desire among the general public for options when it comes to clip orientation. But for us, I think it's really more of a want than a need. I never understand when a tip-down (or up for others) configured knife is actually a deal-breaker for some people. What specific situations do those with such stringent clip requirements find themselves in that the half-second it takes to rotate the knife is too much? And please don't mention the word "tactical" if you're not a professional in harm's way. :rolleyes:

p.s. Let's not anyone get bent over this as I'm mostly just playing devil's advocate.

I'm not left handed but it is nice to see the option become available for those who are. :)

Sal, this whole post (not to mention your great knives) is why I will be a Spyderco customer for life. You build knives that are excellent performers and listen to ELU's and make design changes and whole knife designs based on what the ELU's want, all without getting every last cent you can out of us, as there are several models you could definately charge more for and easily get more money for yet you don't. And your great support of our troops, and that great comment about how our brave SEALs took out those pirates to save a fellow American makes me love Spyderco even more as fellow patriots.

In the short time that I've owned a Spydie and going onto this forum, I have to agree that Sal and Spyderco are one of the finer companies around.

I'm in the process right now of looking for a millie and being left handed I've been thinking of modding the scales for left handed carry.

So when is the new millie going gold? :D
