Oh, heck wait is this dinosaur like that beast you have lol... it's my third Manix this Monday!

I was wondering how long it'd take for you to slap a lanyard on it, haha.

Enjoy. I knew someone with your taste would appreciate it.

I don't understand the reason on this beast the Phillips screws on the clip? The rest of the hardware are torx.

Spyderco used phillips screws for their pocket clips for a long time, up until the mid 2000's.

I have an older Police 2 with a phillips body screw too:

*puts on persnickety hat*

actually...

On Japanese made things, Spyderco included, most Phillips-looking screws are JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard). They are designed not to cam out in the same way that Phillips are, but YMMV.

Also on high end SHimano deraileurs, the b-tension screw is JIS.

You can readily buy JIS drivers here in the US.

Have a good one!

Edited to add: I am only referring to the Japanese made models, not the older Manix being discussed.

Enacting

You are exactly correct, and on another side of the world, like here in the USA; SnapOn tools has the same bit and they call it the ACR.

A good Monday indeed. A few of my favorites

Pancakes when out camping is a good example
