Who Loves the Spyderco Wire Pocket Clip?

I like Spyderco's wire clips but I tend to only carry knives with their hour-glass clips during the winter as I find my coat can catch the wire clip and pull it out of my pocket. I've had knives half come out of my pocket and even had a couple hit the floor. I think the hour-glass clips have more surface area in contact with my pocket and I'm sure the roughness of their G10 and FRN helps too.

I like it on the Dragonfly models. I'm a big guy and I've had several clipped knives (all makers) catch on seatbelts, chairs, etc and had them come out, hit the floor, etc. So far, the wire clips haven't done that. Also, I recently jumped in my wife's car quickly and GOUGED a strip down down the leather in the steering wheel with another brand knife on a pocket clip. I'm not living that one down yet... The strip of damaged area feels like the stitches on a baseball and is right where your left hand sits (between 9 and 10 oclock). I can't imagine the wire clip (with it's round wire) doing this.

Wire Clip = Low Rider
Hi Folks!
I'm not a huge fan of clips, and usually I carry my blades loose in my pocket. :D But I certainly like the Wire Clips, because generally they give you the very convenient low ride carry. :cool:

I don't hate it or love it. It is what it is. The full clips are fine with me. They both do what they're supposed to, and that's all I can ask for.

Don't mind the way the clip looks but dislike the way it functions as there is always an extra pull or push compared to a normal clip and I can't change the clip.
Non of my usual EDC knives have a wire clip and I won't buy a knife with one if I consider it for EDC and otherwise only if I like everything else about it.

My thoughts exactly. Love the wire clip though!Evil D wrote:I do mean side to side. It's really not a big deal as far as function goes, but it bugs me because sometimes it scratches up the G10/CF underneath it.

A lower carry wire clip on the Delica and/or the Endura would be interesting to check out :) A wire clip might not suit some other models also I'll defer to the Spyderco design team :)
Quite enjoy choils and wire clips where they are currently used and purposed
