Bent Spyderco Clip! Bend it back or Replace???

[cycleguy]

Hey All,

Wondering what you do when you catch your clip on something and bend it out of shape ... do you bend it back or do you replace it with a new one?

I did this once and ultimately ended out getting a new clip after bending it back in place a couple of times (never seemed to function as well as pre-bend/new condition), also gave me the opportunity to go with an unfinished clip which is what I prefer. Haven't found interest in the aftermarkets. (I carry mostly Delica/Endura).

I bend them back into shape until they snap, then replace them or do without depending on the knife. I often take off new clips and bend them to adjust tension as well.

You can probably just bent it back into shape using a pair of pliers or two.

If you did want to try something new, I highly recommend the titanium deep-carry clips from Casey Lynch at LynchNW - they are superb.
