Issue with Para 3 clip with tip down carry

#1

Post by bhoff »

I've had my para 3 for a while now and have been running it the stock tip up carry position from the factory with no real issue. The problem lies in the fact that I want to run this knife tip down. I have tried on either side of the knife and run into two separate problems. When trying the clip on the side of the pivot screw, once fully screwed in, the action goes from a free drop to extremely stiff. So stiff that the knife can no longer be opened using a flick of the wrist. On the other side when screwing in the clip, one of the screws is not able to screw into the liner and will fall out. I'm guessing that I can email spyderco and get new hardware but I was just wondering if anyone has had issues similar to these.

Thanks,
Bradley
