Manix 2 LW deep carry pocket clip

[gimibala]

I called SFO to order a deep carry pocket clip for my new Manix 2 LW Rex 45. I asked them specifically if I can get a DEEP carry wire pocket clip for my Manix 2 LW. The gentleman that I talked with said “of course “.
Today I received the package in the mail and they shipped a standard wire clip. What should I do with it?
I don’t need it, can I return it? I’m just frustrated now so please let me know how should I proceed with this.
Thank you!

Hi there, you’re in a bit of a weird spot here with the Manix 2 wire clips. They use that staggered clip that places the lower rounded contact point right on the shield (“escutcheon”). A standard deep carry Spyderco wire clip will fit of course, but it’s not long enough for that rounded bit to properly land on that same point on the escutcheon. They do make a sufficiently longer clip to do this, but have only used it on the Foundry model by my recollection. Your best bet would be to ask them for a Foundry clip, but they may be out of them since it’s an older disco’d model plus they only come in satin, not black (if that’s what you’re after). Hope that helps, Radioactive

Go to Northern Tool/Home Depot or Ace and get one of these, it’s a Milwaukee Tools Fastback and switch clips with the Manix 2 lw…they work great and the Fastback is awesome

SaltyCaribbbeanDfly, I do have 2 of these Milwaukee Fastback, but why should I put this clip on my Manix 2 LW when I told specifically to the person at SFO that I would like to buy a deep carry pocket clip if they have available. They are directly responsible for the mistake, the person that answered the phone call should pay more attention to the customers.
I will have to call them again after Christmas. If they don’t make deep wire clips for Manix 2 LW they should’ve let me know.

How did I miss this gem of information. Thanks salty. I may be going to Home Depot tomorrow.

Yeah... The knife only comes with one style of clip. If you're dead-set on getting a deep carry clip, try Lynch. He makes a nice titanium replacement.

Yes and no. The person was probably just trying to figure out what you were trying to order since you were asking to order something that does not exist.

Why Spyderco can’t just sell parts on a website like a normal company though, I don’t know.

So glad I don't work customer service anymore. The amount of people who I've had to deal with that make something up in their head that doesn't exist and then are mad at me when I don't have it is something I'll never understand. Saying a prayer for whoever picks up the phone after xmas to deal with this.

Cool to know the fastback clip fits. Going to have to pick a couple up.

That’s a creative tip! If I wasn’t such an OEM nerd, I would definitely take advantage of this idea.

Hey man I get it and I don’t know why you were told that but mistakes happen, so make your call to SFO and try to get an explanation but the bottom line is they don’t exist…your best bet is gonna be the fastback or Etsy…good

You´re completely sure on this?

To be clear: I really dislike deep carry clips (wire or not) so I have no actual idea:

Just can recall that the deep carry wire clip on my Kapara was pretty long (actually I was looking for a NON deep carry alternative, but then sold the knife) and also the one on the Spydiechef looks to be - they might fit the Manix LW AND hit that smooth contact point - ?!

Wow. Your misunderstanding of the availability of such a clip caused this and yet it's the CS reps mistake?
Give it a rest

I thought the clip that came with this knife was already a deep carry wire clip?? I'm confused.

You were right salty. I forgot I had one of those knives. Works great.

The manix 2 lw comes with a wire clip, but it isn't folded over to make it deep carry. As far as I know it's the only Spyderco wire clip in production that uses this style.

I got curious and put my kapara clip on my manix. It's not quite long enough for the contract patch to be on the smooth section of scale. Needs to be 1/8-1/4" longer.

Very luckily for me...

I'll second the LynchNW clip if you're willing to pay a little more.

I generally prefer shallow carry as well, particularly on a big knife like the manix, it's nice to have something hanging out to grab. I would prefer an hourglass clip on medium to larger knives though.

^ That looks really good, Sky.
Thanks for the photo.
