Food for thought

So I have seen that people like to have pocket clips on modded SAKs. So here's a thought I've been pondering on lately. What if we make a detachable pocket clip similar to the leatherman wave clip. Do you think this would work. And if people are interested. Thanks all

Sounds like a good idea but would it be universal for many models? I think I'd still have two SAKS if they had pocket clips

Sounds like a great idea. Just wondering how you would make it detachable.

I am not one to really comment on SAK mods but i would imagine making one of the liners longer and out of spring steel, you could probably fold it over and then shape into a permanent one.

Maybe even the liner directly under the scale?

I am about to try my hand on my own SAK mod once I get the parts for it, I am pretty sure it's going to be G10 clad, maybe i'll try my hand at making a clip too

Think LM wave

[captain spaulding]

I am but you would need a lock release.  How would that work?

[tattoosteve99]

From what i am thinking, I am going to try to use a large backspring, like the pliiers. Then maybe grind a slot or nick in it. Add a lock mechanism with a spring similar to a LM wave. I will try to get a mock up pick soon if I have time.

Might help me understand.  I'm a visual learner.

That sounds neat... 

[tattoosteve99]

This idea has been tossed by me. Someone else try. Thanks

The backside of the clip would have to equal the thickness of the spring.  Also, the spring would have to be a "dead space" as it could not function with a "chargelike" clip.  It is a good idea and I think it could work but the clip would probably have to be fabricated specifically for that mod.

I put a clip on this SAK that i modded a few years ago.

Without wanting to douse any fires, I have found a suspension clip to work perfectly on SAKs. Later I switched to putting a torch (flashlight) on the suspension clip and a mini latch hook type clip on the SAK. Clip the SAK to the torch and away you go, deep carried but easy retrieval 

I cant think of a simpler and more effective way with a SAK, sorry

I have a small S hook that i use for SAKs it works well. The SAK in the pix is my muzzle loading SAK the clip makes it easy to access it when i am shooting. I use the blade to cut patches at the muzzle, the combo tool i use for removing the lock and adjusting the elevation on the sight, the eye glass screwdriver i use for adjusting  the windage,  i use the file for opening up  the sights, i use the pen for writing on targets and i cut cleaning patches with scissors.

Brilliant! I'm totally stealing that idea. With my titanium liners I could just cut one from .040" sheet for the under scale liner and make a tail on it that could be bent over for a clip. It should ride nice and low in the pocket.

It's a shallow pool but I am still a one man think tank.

I think it would be a super idea so long as it's reliable.  Would it be secured to the liner or scale?
