Sal, I just sold my first spyderco because of the clip issue. Also, as basically all your clips are the same, I will not be buying another one until this issue is fixed. I like many of your designs, but your average handle length coupled with your clip design and placement do not give me enough room on the handle to grip the knife in my pocket. I like to have as much of a fighting grip as possible in my pocket so I can just whip it out, deploy the knife, and go. Your lack of real estate on the handle in pocket prevents me from getting a good grip and your clip design also forces my fingers off the handle while drawing it from my pocket as it redirects the pressure of the fabric right onto my fingers. These two issues prevent me from calling your folding knives defensive tools. Fixing this issue, especially if you make your clip fold over in design so that it rides like a sog clip, would allow me once again to buy a spyderco. Please contact me for any further explanation of the problems I found. For a great example of what my goals are look to the sog aegis.
