Hi everyone, I am in the market for a deep carry pocket clip for my new Spyderco Paramilitary 2 . I like the MXG in blue (to go with my REX45 Orange handle), but I am wondering how well the clips hold up.
Case in point, sometimes getting in/out of machinery, I sometimes hook my knife on the door or whatever getting out. It ends up bending my pocket clip open so it doesn't stay in my pocket because the clip spread away from the knife handle.
I just want to know if these MXG clips are as tough or tougher than the stock clips & how well the color stays on the clip. Would it eventually scratch off or flake off?
Thank you to those who are able to help out with this.
 
I’ve never had any problems with them and have had several. Even if they get bent titanium should be able to be bent back at least a few times.
 
I have several MXG Gear clips and they seem to wear well. For the Spyderco 3-hole style I think I prefer the Lynch Northwest clip; it seems a little stiffer and springier at the same time. The Lynch clips can be hard to find though.

I'm not sure if they're tougher than stock clips but the MXG clips certainly hold their own.
 
I have lynch clips on 3 of my Spyderco knives and MXG on 3 of my Sebenzas. They’re both great in my experience but I do prefer the Lynch clip. All of mine are plain so I can’t speak to any coating or anodizing wear.
 
I found the Lynch clips on Ebay since the seller is sold out, but they don't have one that I really like. I'm going to try out the MXG & see how it is. But based on everyone's response, I'm also going to pick up a Lynch when I find one I like. Who knows, I might need to pick up a knife to go along with it.

You know...it's funny but I actually saw Lynch clips in stock on BladeHQ and grabbed one that I didn't really have a knife for!

Us knife knuts are a speshul type of nut!

And yes, I did finally buy a knife to fit that clip!

Heck I spent 18 months collecting stuff for a knife I didn't have
 
Have had good experiences with MXG Gear. Fair prices and quick shipping. The two clips for ZTs were a perfect fit and match. The new bronze ZT0609 especially...the color is right on. A matching titanium deep carry clip for $23? ZT should be sourcing their factory clips from MXG...

I did see the clips available on Blade HQ. But they are the shorter length & I think I would prefer the longer length of the regular clip. I'll see what I think when I get it. Love my new PM2, but it really needs the deep carry as standard IMO.
 
I like the MXG clips. I have em on a couple Launch 4s a Link and a couple ZTs that have vertical screws but not a deep-carry clip. They make them for all the popular Kershaw/ZT models, even leeks and blurs. It’s too bad they make they can’t just make the knives with deep carry clips (0095, 0450..) like they did with the older 0560s.
I get mine on eBay if bladehq is out of stock
 
I have used MXG clips on many knives, would recommend. Speaking of Lynch clips... I really wish he would make his titanium prybar again.
