Excellent, thanks for the research!
For the record, I get considerable pocket shred on my heavy as well as my lightweight pants. Pockets tend to shred before the knees blow out.
I was speaking specifically in regards to the "pocket bunching" due to the clip placement that was expressed as the issue as of now. I think the model is too new to judge overall pocket wear. All of my pants will wear over time wherever stress/abrasion is present. I suppose time will tell if this model specifically will be worse for the wear.Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 10:47 pmweeping minora wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 11:10 am....
I will say this, if you wear slacks, or thin pants, this may be an issue. I wear thicker pants almost exclusively, and this is a non issue. If this is your primary knife that you will utilize and deploy multiple times per day, this could perhaps become an issue regardless, though I don't always reach for this folder for all of my daily usage. At this rate, I wouldn't see this being an issue for me, and I haven't adjusted the clip to relieve factory tension.
Well, actually ALL of the pants I wear regularily (even the thick and sturdy ones) are/get pretty trashed over time on the right side front pocket from putting my folders in at out of the pocket in daily use... so a design where the clip does not even land on a smooth spot just has to make that worse I guess - ?
Thanks for info Dan . I really like the. The lightweight model and would like an upcoming variant . May have to try out this clip . MG2
I'm tellin' ya, if you try that clip you might end up with a dozen of them!zhyla wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 7:51 amOh dang, should I get the MXG clip and keep this knife? Decisions…

I’ve had the same issue on other knives with trying to have the clip in tip down. The screws are just slightly too long. I put the ends of them on some sand paper to get a thread or two off. That worked so I was able to carry tip down and the screws wouldn’t protrude through the liners too far.zhyla wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 6:11 pmOk, I was a little worried I was throwing good money after bad, but I ordered an MXG clip. I think it was $27 shipped.
It’s only about an 1/8th of an inch longer but the contact point is way closer to the tip. Huge win. It’s also slightly thicker material so I was hoping I could use the clip tip-down but it still interferes with the blade. So no luck on that.
I like the standard clips but MXG makes a fine clip. Saved this knife from the chopping block… for now at least.
Yeah, I may do that. It’s really unbelievable a knife comes out of Golden and needs the screws ground down. I had this issue with a used Delica and wrote it off as maybe someone swapped another knife’s screws onto it or something.Drubieg wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 6:36 pmI’ve had the same issue on other knives with trying to have the clip in tip down.

MXG included two sets of screws of different lengths. They’re also too long but I may take them to the grinder for this purpose.
