Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Pocket Clip Repair

[spearmintmonkey]

And how in the world does one bend a pocket clip like that in the first place?

[ShockAndAwe408]

@thecajunblaze where can i get one of those skrewdrivers? I have three pocket clips that either need tightening or converted to tip up carry

[thecajunblaze]

@ShockAndAwe408 I picked these up at a local hardware store.

[douglasfcalvert]

I dont think the screws are torx. I use a 5/64 hex on the pivot screw and a 1/16 on the clip screws.

[Kylef7735]

@douglasfcalvert they are torx, but sometimes allen/hex will work

[2bafool]

do you know if all spyderco knives have that deminsion my manix 2s pocket clip is lose and needs tightened i dont know wat size or shape bit i need tho

[lazadar]

I remember when I had just received my D2 Para I bent the pocket clip when I was bending down the the clip caught on a show box. Luckily I was helping the shoe dept and my main dept was the knife counter so I repaired her when i got back to the counter. It has been bent a couple of more times since then and bent back but it still does not look the same but it looks nice and used.

hey cajun ,, looks like you have a common problem ,, pocket clips are a pain in the butt , ,, im retired and with time on my hands , came up with an idea to eliminate pocket clips all together ,,,,, yes ,, no clip to get in the way of anything ,, no need for them ,,,,,, i am talking to a relative of mine ,, he's a corporate attorney ,,, i want to fine out how to mkt. the idea ,,without getting white washed ,,, anyway,, good luck with your clips ,

[JimzOnDroid]

thanks for the vid cajun. I just flipped the pocket clip on my para 2 to tip up, and mine took a T-6. I tried 2 different sets of torx bits and both fit a T6 perfectly snug. I wonder if spyderco used T7 and T6 hardware randomly or at different times. That would surprise me though.

Great job my friend!

[spsilvgo]

I've bent out my Delica 4 pretty bad... I should really fix it before I lose it!!! Hope Spyderco comes out with more peel ply carbon fiber knives

[DavidML777]

nice job

wheres the best place to by the Military, at a reasonable price?

[AceRazor]

What up Blaze! That's sucks the Spydie charges for screws and pockets clips. I stripped the paint and gashed my BM 585 clip and called them up and they sent extra screws with the pocket clip free. Got 'em like the same week too. Still a perrrty knife though.

[AerialGround]

Nice job

I caught my military on my living room chair and bent the heck out of the clip.

Done bent it back too :)

I try and stay away from chairs now.

[ewtoutdoors]

Nice job bet your happy to have it back. Take care and have a great day.

[splinterman9]

Picked up my 1st spyderco yesterday a Endura 4..... sweet !

[mslizzyborden]

I'm just amazed that the screws were not stripped.

[jeffersontool]

Yeah, I ordered three black ones and a couple polished Delica/Endura clips just for those rainy days.

[graffsucks]

where do i find these torques bit screwdriver. i cant find em????

[jeffersontool]

@graffsucks ANY hardware store.

[kenthenoob]

well, i don't own this particular model, but the regular para 2 is such an awesome knife

[kenthenoob]

one of the best spydie knives i own!

[defenseandsafety]

you should use lock tight when you put the screws back in - otherwise they'll loosen up on you after a few months pulling it out of your pocket and banging into things.

[subiemon]

nice its sweet that u got it fixed, is that ur fav spydie knife?

[photolabguy]

When putting the screws back in, to prevent re tapping, I would have backed the screws out first before screwing them in. I'm glad you were able to bend the clip back into place.

[FrenziedCalm]

I destroy pocket clips. I've torn up the best of them... both of the Spyderco pocket clip types, the flat ones like you show, plus the wire ones. Heck, I tore up 2 of the wire ones in about 2 weeks time! Heck, even my favorite brand, Emerson, I've tore up clips on, and theirs are over-engineered. But the one pocket clip I've yet to destroy is that Benchmade split arrow design. Benchmade imbues them with some kind of magic that deflects snags. Maybes its the angles and pointed end?

[rwpock]

hey does the carbon fiber tear up your pants like the g10 does.

[xxbryan715xx]

"get a god dam recon 1"-texas grebner it is better than a damn spyder co

[007JoeVitto]

I use to catch my knife on my stupid steering wheel cover all the time when I would get outta my car, with the same affect. Always annoying when it happens, but quick fix. $6 bucks a piece... dang... looks like I will just keep bending mine back out as long as I can. Nice video Blaze, keep'em coming.

[oromoto]

It ain't that bad :)

[12345678927164]

you know i had to do this to my sog flash 2

3 times!!!! its a shitey knife!!!

[Lookinformemarbles]

@12345678927164 i got knives i had to send then again! there warranty sucks!!!

[12345678927164]

@Lookinformemarbles yea how abount benchmade are thar pocket clips good??

[JBK52596]

@12345678927164 i have also had to do that with my sog flash 2,

[xxmtgxx]

Yea its BS, All companies but spyderco, boker and cold steel send you clips and screws for free.

[TYKMTeddy]

@xxmtgxx yeah... that's disappointing coming from spyderco. When my clip screws stripped on my bm710, i called them for 2 screws, they sent me 4 screws (clip only takes 3), and a new clip too....

[Tardisius]

Ha ha--wide loads.

[ATF6281914]

Simple fix. I've done it a couple times myself.

[sevendays00]

Are those carbon fiber scales/handles??

Or my eyes are playing tricks on me?

[CampfireTalk]

Good work CB & enjoy the shrimp later on today!

[freedoomed]

i've done this before. The towel is always a good thing. Helps keep the pliers from scratching up the clip.

[Grubkat]

Great tip, man. Thanks.

[biguy525]

Good job, like that phrase" not my first rodeo "

[thenextarcher]

wow i thought spyderco sent pocket clips to you for free ?!?!

[ATF6281914]

@thenextarcher

I read on their site once that they charge up to $11 for a clip.

[thenextarcher]

@ATF6281914 wow.... 

[thenowandaway]

They bees some little screws bra....

[GMGvanS]

Thank God she's in good shape again.

[eneyman]

Wow thats kind of surprising, last week I contacted Benchmade by email, not even phone and they sent me free clip replacements for my griptilian..

[sshukri0]

please let us get a look at the shrimp boil later today.

[thecajunblaze]

@sshukri0 It's what I do.....

[Cannoli564C]

Have to say I was kinda disappointed to hear you say Spyderco wouldn't send you a replacement pocket-clip for free. I stripped the screws on my Zero Tolerance 0301 and Kershaw sent me some more and an extra pocket-clip for free, no questions asked.

[johncajunmanbrown]

We have the technology. We can rebuild him.

[TheJebus88]

good job buddy!!!
