Dragonfly clip

#1

Post by Mini2white »

I am after a deep carry clip for the Dragonfly. I would really love a deep carry wire clip. Black of course would be super awesome since it would blend in even more. Any ideas out there?

I haven't tried any aftermarket clips, but I just Googled it, and many seem to be available. A deep carry wire clip like the one on the Para 3 LW would be nice.

Lynch NW makes deep carry clips for the D'fly, but they are not wire clips. I like mine a lot, fwiw.

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

I have never seen a Dragonfly clip that extends past the lanyard hole to make it truly deep carry. One of the few things I don't like about the dragonfly.

Yup. From @suingab on instagram.

Run a p7 suspension clip and a split ring or other loop through the lanyard hole?

Can you tell us some more about it? Is the clip off another knife?
