Stripped screws or hole
Ever strip a hole or a screw when installing a new clip?

Stripped a screw, my fault, but being so small you can do it fairly easy. Called Spyderco and Mike took care of me, sent out new set of screws at no cost.

Re: Stripped screws or hole
Don’t know why but the clip screws are the only ones that have the risk of getting damaged in my personal experience when opening a knife to swap scales. I did once have a manix XL with a bad body screw but turned out it was the liner itself was the problem. Took some time but i was able to fix it. The knife came with a ton off blue locktide on that screw. So guess something went wrong there and someone tried to hide it.

There's a Youtuber that jokingly said in a video that he thought the SAL symbol on the knives stood for Soft screws And Loctite
