Question about Para 3 LW pocket clip

#1

Post by Switchback »

Can anybody tell me if the screw that holds the pocket clip on the Para 3 LW will seat properly with the clip removed?

Thanks.

Bumping this thread as a second attempt in hopes that someone can help.

I remove the picket clips from my knives and it’s important to me to find out the answer before ordering a Para 3 LW. It’s not something I can determine by handling one in a store. They wouldn’t take too kindly of me whipping out a Torx bit to find out.

Since I posted my question above, I have learned that the handles on the FRN Dragonfly are allegedly held together at the rear with adhesive so removing the pocket clip and screw does not affect the integrity of the construction. The FRN Dragonfly apparently doesn’t need the clip screw to hold the handles together.

Is the Para 3 LW built the same way by any chance? If not, will the screw seat properly without the thickness of the clip in place?

I just wanted to stop in and say thank you again for taking the trouble to remove your clip and help me out. It was the answer I needed before buying one and I appreciate it.
