Hello,
I would like to add a pocket clip to my Buck/Whittacker Approach folding knife, just like the one in the link. http://jbrucevoyles.com/Direct/DSCN0023.JPG
It's not an expensive knife, so I don't need a custom clip, but it was a gift so I would like to make it usable as an everyday carry knife. I found clips on KnifeKits.com for reasonable, but my question is about attaching the clip. The knife has pinned scales, so I can't take them off to drill and tap the knife. It does look like I could take the blade out, then try to drill the scales. Do you think that would work? Would I be able to get away with drilling it, then putting in a screw without running a tap through the holes? I don't know that I would be able to tap the drilled holes without removing the scales.
Thanks for any help or advice you have to offer.
