My Native I with a Titanium clip

[David Lowry]

I've had this Native for a while but I was excited when I found out that the new ones (and the Salts) were coming with a barrel bolt clip that looked like the hourglass clip. I called Spyderco and bought a couple of Titanium clips that look like the hourglass clip for the knives with the barrel bolt. This one I stripped and then anodized. I originally made it blue but decided to go dark brown. I did this because I thought it was as close to black as I could get. The finish doesn't scratch easily and will never come off. I love it.

I have a few pairs of pants that I wear to work that are similar in color. On those days I wear the Native to work.

I may do the other one blue just because I love blue anodized Titanium.

Nice! Glad to see you were able to get some of the Ti clips David.

Very nice. What are those clips running?

[David Lowry]

That clip ran me about $14 from Spyderco due to it being Titanium. The steel ones were like $6 I think.

How do you take off that style of clip off? I have a pacific salt and I have no idea how to move the clip.

A couple of nickels turned in opposite directions works fine.

[Studey]

Use a quarter or a nickel. If you really want to tighten it down (or if it's really tight when you take it off), use one on both sides.

Yep. Roger has it right on. I've only ever used nickels on those barrel bolts and they are a perfect fit. I'm pretty sure Spyderco designed them for use with a nickel. I'm not positive but I'd bet a lot on it.
