Deep-Pocket Carry Clip for Delica-4
Apparently, I can't search for the term "clip" or "Delica", so I'm posting my question on this new thread. I have a new Delica-4 FFG coming my way and would like to install a deep-carry pocket clip on it. If at all possible, I'd like the "wire-type" clip that's found on several of the Spyderco offerings. If that's not available, something as least intrusive as possible would be nice.
What would you recommend and where would I purchase said product? Thanks in advance.

Just today my deep carry pocket clip(not wire) arrived from Casey Lynch, USA.I highly recommend.It's sand washed and looks great on my gray FFG Delica.

They are extremely cool!!
Will check the name when I get home.
Tons of different designs also!

I've never seen a wire clip. Casey lynch clips are the way to go in my opinion.

Thanks all. I ordered what Casey is selling over at BF. What's the general consensus here as it relates to the OEM vs Aftermarket clip on the Delica? Which do you folks prefer?

That looks similar to one I ordered off of e-Bay the other night. I should have it in a few days. I'll post pics once I get it.

Looks good, but a bit too deep for me.

Lynch Clips are just as well made as the factory clips imho.

Re: Deep-Pocket Carry Clip for Delica-4
Better IMHO. Plus they come with their own Spyderhole! Casey is a great guy and a highly talented craftsman. I am sure Sal's recent decision that Spyderco would not market their own deep carry clips was to specifically keep folks just like Casey in business.swigert wrote:Lynch Clips are just as well made as the factory clips imho.
Speaking of which, in a recent conversation with STR, he told me he's done making clips since nobody's buying his anymore. Anyone have a Millie or a Southard, Steve Rice makes the best Ti deep carry clips for them, but maybe not for long .

I prefer Pop's Custom Clips.

Re: Deep-Pocket Carry Clip for Delica-4
This is certainly meant in a highly respectful way and with shiny footprints, but I have tried dozens of clips from all the makers selling on eBay over the years (including the major ones now), but none of them come close to both Lynch's and STR's quality. Be they thick, flimsy, sharp, don't work right, badly painted or just wrong (like how one seller blatantly copies Lynch's model), MY experience is that these two sell better quality items befitting my awesome Spydies (and man do I have a lot of aftermarket clips!). My two cents only (please!) not looking to start any kind of heated discussion about clip sellers :)

I really like that one on the left. I may have to get one too. Is it long enough to rest on the smoother part of the Delica grip?

Re: Deep-Pocket Carry Clip for Delica-4
Hi, no not that one but Casey does sell a long version specifically to hit that sweet spot (the escutcheon). I took a few pics of my D4's with Lynch clips. The two FRN ones have his long clips (both anodized to match :)), and the G10 and Ti ones have his short clips. The Ti one also shows his standard finish (the Native 5 clip was polished to a high shine by me). It bugged me for a minute that the clips didn't all line up in this pic, until I realized the clip position is different on the Ti version. Casey goes by "theoriginalspaceman" on BF and his thread has lots more pics and his contact info for ordering. Hope that helps!
