SAGE 2 My first simpleton MOD
SAGE 2 My first simpleton MOD
Hey All,
No knives for Christmas for me ( that sux ). I have been just playing with the few I have. I tried something different here, I found getting a good handle on my Sage 2 required placing my middle and ring fingers on/in the pocket clip. Got a light wear mark under the pocket clip and it bothers me to no end. I took the smallest diameter shrink tubing that I had and fed it over the wire, applied a bit of heat ( Zippo ) and pictured is my result. In the end I now have a better purchase on my SAGE and will eliminate continued wear under the clip. I am thinking it's been done before, so I cant take the credit for it.

I may look calm, but in my head I've killed you 3 times.
Clever, and so simple that I could do it. Thanks for sharing.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Nice work, GotDogs!
Let us know how it works getting the knife in and out of your pocket. I assume the shrink wrap makes it harder to clip and unclip. Also interested in hearing about how it wears over time - but then again, it would be a cinch to replace, eh? :)

What was the ID on the tubing you used?
One thing I really like about this idea is that I can get black, clear or colors:
add-> Despite the picture, Amazon describes the tubing above as "black".

The package of Heatshrink tubing I have has an assortment of sizes. By eye my guess it's 12 / 14 ga. Me likes the colored ones. The largest in the package would easily cover a normal pocket clip and would look pretty cool and would certainly make the clip / knife less obvious in the pocket. Thanks for the complimants, the good thing is it's cheap and easily changed based on mood or wear. Please, if you do it to your knives show em. Thanks, John :spyder: :spyder: :spyder:

I also like the idea and PlastiDip is another option.
I love the stuff, especially the spray can version.
Look for it at Menards, Lowes, Ace Hardware, eBay, etc.
Around $6 a can and if you don't like it, it'll peel right off!
