Any of you handsome devils want to put pocket clips on my Spirits?

Title says it all. I've got two Spirits (one stainless and one black oxide) and two Leatherman pocket clips (one stainless and one black oxide) and I would love someone to do the necessary work to attach the pocket clips to the Spirits.

I can pay...something reasonable

(I don't want to insult anyone or lowball the figure, I've never paid for a mod before so keep that in mind. $20-$30 total for both the mods?

More than that and I would just buy the kit and do it myself. I think.

Now I'm not exactly in the know, but I would be expecting to pay a little more than that I think.

Might be worth having a crack yourself.

At least it would be something of your own.

I suppose it is kind of rude to dictate what I would pay for a service. If anyone wants to have a shot at doing one or both of them send me a PM, I won't be able to do it myself for a few months so there's some time on this.

I'd be happy to do up the stainless one for you Spoon.

But the black oxide one (shudder) I'm a little scared of. The black scratches so easily....and it would be almost impossible to avoid scratches while clamping the tool to drill and tap the pin hole. $:-\$ Even more of a challenge is the pocket clip; cutting it off and buffing the cut smooth would leave that whole end shiny.

PM on the way.

Point taken on the BO one. I'll shelve that idea for the time being and see what else I can come up with. The purpose of the BO Spirit was to allow me to carry at work. Situation is this: I wear slacks and a dress shirt so I can't have a sheath and a multi-tool in the pocket moves too much and makes my legs look funny. The best solution I've found is to clip my BO Kick mod inside my waistband. It works because I tend to wear darker shirts and the finish blends in, it looks very obvious and weird with a stainless tool though.

Maybe I wear a stainless-steel colored shirt at work? Could be hot.

Why not just carry a Skeletool CX and a SAK or something!

I've seen stainless steel thread woven wallet, wonder if you could get a shirt in that stuff. Cut resistant too!

Perhaps a stylish chain mail shirt would be something to consider Spoon? No one would ever notice a clipped multitool if you walked into a room dressed like this:

That's what I was picturing in my head. Wearing that I could tuck a Surge in my little leather belt and no one would bat an eye!

So when are you going to order one?

Nikos · **Reply #10 on:** January 31, 2009, 03:47:41 PM

Go get thy mail and gambeson lad!

David Bowen · **Reply #11 on:** January 31, 2009, 04:02:19 PM

I want one with a clip too but I don't carry a tool enough to warrant one with a clip

would get me to carry my Spirit more though.

What about a BO LM pocket clip on a SS Spirit? It wouldn't look AMAZING, but it wouldn't be as noticeable I don;t think.. I may have a few of them somewhere!
