Best Pocket Clip, Ever!

Yeah, yeah - I know some of y'all hate it. But it's my favorite. Hey Buck Knives Inc. Buck Knives Inc. , do you think you could offer this pocket clip in brass and include two brass screws so folks can add it to 112's and 110's? I've seen pictures of folks adding this stainless clip to 112's and 110's and think a brass clip matching the bolsters would be great.

Since brass would likely bend too easily, Cerakoting stainless steel clips a brass color is an option. Oops... be careful what you wish for! ;)

Yes, what Buck Knives Inc. Buck Knives Inc. doesn't know is that us Luddites are secretly planning to storm the castle and burn the Cerakoting equipment on the front lawn. LOL!

Joking aside, a brass clip in that design certainly wouldn't be springy and have any holding tension, but on a 112 or 110, all it needs to do is hold the weight of the knife in place in the pocket. Dents and dings would be character. If Buck were to fab up a few for kicks, I would certainly volunteer to drill and tap a 112 and test drive it to see how it holds up.

Since I've strayed this far off topic on a Friday, I'll continue a little farther with this excerpt from Wikipedia:

"The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who opposed the use of certain types of automated machinery due to concerns relating to worker pay and output quality. They often destroyed the machines in organized raids. Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of "Ned Ludd", a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.

The Luddite movement began in Nottingham, England, and spread to the North West and Yorkshire between 1811 and 1816. Mill and factory owners took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed by legal and military force, which included execution and penal transportation of accused and convicted Luddites.

Over time, the term has been used to refer to those opposed to the introduction of new technologies."


Here's today's carry next to the backup that lives in my backpack. Wouldn't a brass clip of that design just be perfect on a brass and wood 112? And no, I probably wouldn't do it to a BCCI Anniversary Koa 112. Probably. At least not first. :)
