Hello friends!Special respect to Sal for the great knives! I've been using Military for a long time - this is my favorite EDC. I'm a doctor and knives are my hobby.I recently got a Civilian but without a clip. What are the options to purchase an original or custom clip? There is another difficulty-I am not from the USA.

Dear maddoc:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

Complete details on purchasing a replacement clip can be found here: https://www.spyderco.com/service-suppor ... ent-clips/.

Stay safe,

Mike

Mike, thanks for the reply. I will definitely write to support.But it's also interesting- are there really no custom clips for Civi?For Military and others I have seen on sale.But not for Civi(

You might check the usual places for aftermarket clips. eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Lynch, etc.

Hurray!! I have found a solution! Rate it guys! We have a titanium clip for Military on the market (there are none at all for Civi!). I made a little semicircle for one of the bolts and for one fixing screw. I attached the thread to the retainer. The hairline matched clearly! Now the knife is as secretive as possible!)

nice ingenuity. is it riding on 2 screws total? it is a little difficult to see in your pics. i do see you grinded off some of the base of the clip but I can't really make out where the screws are dropped. in any case, thanks for sharing.

It is screwed tightly with 2 screws- you can get to them. 3 the screw under which the groove is made is pre-twisted with a thread lock into the knife before reaching g10 by the thickness of the clip - it serves as a stop

AWESOME! that explains it thanks!

first, we screw the stop screw into the handle on the retainer not to the full depth, leaving room for the clip. We bring the clip under the cap of this bolt and slide the clip until the other 2 holes are aligned. We screw the bolts into them until they stop and tighten them.

Clever solution!

I'll ask you here. I don't want to create a theme. Matriarch has a version with an Emerson hook and a black dlc coating. Why is there no Civilian? why doesn't the Civilian have a black coating?
