OK guys, here is what I've been thinking...

Has anyone tried to mode OH Trekker with pocket clip from OH Sentinel?

Is the pocket clip part of scales, or integral part of knife...

I really like (since recently) OHT, but allso like Pocket Clip from OH Sentinel...

Just wondering could it be combined??

I know there was an article on sosak about a nite ize stick on clip
Here it is: http://www.sosakonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=583&Itemid=35
I'm not sure if anyone has tried a pocket clip mod though... If it helps I find the 111mm oho vics to be easy to carry and they stay upright in my pocket.

Yup, I know about NiteIze clips...

The idea is to take clip off OH sentinel, and mount it on OHT, is that possible??

Yes and No:
Yes, the clip is part of the scale and you could swap it out to another 111mm knife.
However, this brings me to NO; the OHT swap would require you to file out (cut) the scale so that it would properly receive the backside phillips screwdriver.
Great idea but I am not hot on cutting up my nylon scales and second, your now "un-scaled" Sentinel would need a replacement since a swap from the OHT leaves a cutout where one is not needed.

You've got a point here...

It's just... It'll be nice to have pocket clip on OHT, wouldn't it?

It wouldn't be hard- you just would want to have something more than nylon for the screws to hold onto, so something like nuts or a threaded bit of plate recessed inside the scale, then file off the bolt flush before you reattached the plate. Finicky hand work more than anything.
