Brouwer Clip Placement - 2020 Catalog
I just noticed in the new catalog that it seems like the pocket clip placement has been adjusted to provide a deeper carry. However, it is only adjusted on the lock-bar side for right-hand carry which is a little curious (if the photo is accurate). If these images are accurate...I will finally get one!
Can anyone confirm or deny that this is a CQI adjustment?

I don't have a problem with the clip as is.. Oh well :)
On a side note - how do you pronounce Brouwer? Brow, like eyebrow or Brew, like coffee?

Brouwer is a Dutch designer.Larry_Mott wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 3:41 amI don't have a problem with the clip as is.. Oh well :)

So Brou would be like eyebrow.
But the W should be a sharp F like Field
So it would be "Browfer"

Re: Brouwer Clip Placement - 2020 Catalog
The clip movement is an improvement, but the MXG short clip is better. The standard clip is still too long.
SCARAMOUCHE!
Re: Brouwer Clip Placement - 2020 Catalog
As part of the CQI, the standard clip was also downsized on the new version of the Brouwer. Just something I forgot to mention in my other post. :spyder:gull wing wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 3:56 pmThe clip movement is an improvement, but the MXG short clip is better.

I want to get one of these but I really just can't get past the green scale color.
