Where can I get some pocket clips custom made for these Spydercos?

[JimJones]

Hey guys
I've been bitten by the knife bug and have been going kind of crazy buying knives lately. In my opinion a couple of the coolest knives I have bought recently are these Spydercos with damascus blades and jigged bone handles. Two of them are Enduras and the other one is a Delica. I absolutely love these knives and really want to carry them but they don’t have any clips on them so as the thread title says do any of you guys know of anybody that specializes in making custom pocket clips for knives?

What I was thinking was to somehow modify the lanyard holes on these knives. I was thinking to have them threaded so they would be like a "barrel screw" and then have somebody that knows what they are doing mill two small notches in the bone handles to be able to accept a Spyderco wire clip.
If any of you guys out there have a Spyderco with a wire clip you will know what I'm talking about. I might try to take a couple of pics to explain if needed.

With such beautiful handles I really would prefer the wire clip vs. a traditional simply for the fact that the wire clip will obscure less of the handle.
I was thinking the easy way to do this would be to have the bolsters drilled and tapped but I greatly prefer tip up carry so that is why I was thinking of going with the modified lanyard hole method.

Can any of you guys recommend me somebody that does this kind of custom work?

There are all kinds of modders some even specialize in clips. I have seen STR's work and it is pretty decent :

Spyderco will replace broken integral FRN clips with metal clips for $20 plus $5 shipping according to the warranty information. Don't know if they would put metal clips on custom scales.

Steve Rice (STR) makes some great looking clips. So does "theoriginalspaceman" but I don't think either of them make wire clips.

I'm also of the opinion that, since mounting a wire clip would require milling grooves in the bone to anchor it, there's a fair chance that side loads on the wire will break out pieces of the bone. espeically "above" the lanyard hole.

An alternative solution might be finding a sheath maker to make you a "William Henry Clipcase" style pocket sheath.

I've seen SRT from searching Google but I think he only makes clips. I don’t think he modifies knives

I never liked clip cases. The knife tends to slip out of my pocket if the case isn't a tight fit and the clip isn't stiff (especially for heavier knives like yours). Every time I give the case a try again, I always end up un-clipping it and pocketing it as a whole.
