Ferrum Forge Knife Works - improved pocket clips

more_vert
Hey everyone,
Some of you may have seen the discussion about pocket clips in drops for Falcon and Crux knives. We've been reading all you comments and working closely with Ferrum Forge, WE Knife, our engineering team, and a testing lab on this for the past few months, and we're pleased to introduce a new-and-improved version.
This version is making its debut on the new Falcon Wing Edition that launches today (1/26/18), and will be available to members as an accessory soon (hopefully, sometime in March). Here to tell you more about the process, and the results of our testing, is our lead engineer John Yu.
Take it away, John! [Continued below...]

I see these are available on Massdrop now. Weirdly, you haven't switched to them on the actual knives yet, meaning we have to spend extra money to have a pocket clip that doesn't suck. Also, you're completely sold out in gray and blue, so I can't even get one that matches my knife. Hopefully more will be available soon in the correct color. I rather think you should offer these for free to owners of these knives, considering the original design was faulty, and that you haven't switched to the working design on the actual knives. Just got my knife today, and it has the old clip design. I was hoping that it would come with the improved clip, since you're aware of the problem.

That's a good fix for the pocket clips. I would buy many of these knives, but I like to carry my knives clip down in my pocket. If there was a way to communicate to manufacturers to make knives have an option to change the clip's side, I would definitely consider buying the knife.

What is your take on the Kabar #1001 USA two blade bone handle pocket knife?

Should just offer every confirmed buyer a free replacement and not charge extra. Based on the replacement policy, it seems like all one has to do is break the current clip they have to get a new one for free; how to prove they broke it on accident or on purpose? For me, so far so good on the original clip, but good to know that if and when it breaks I'll be taken care of.

Too bad they are not offering to replace the first design clips for free. Knives were shipped with the first design long after the issue was recognized with the clip.

I would like to submit a ticket for a replacement clip. Had it bend a week after I got the knife. Johnny Mullins, jmullins@outlook.com. Thank you

How about a deep pocket clip, if you are going to all of this trouble to fix a bad design on the old clip then why not give us the option of a new deep pocket clip. Personally if I have a choice between a regular clip and a deep pocket clip I will choose the deep pocket clip every time, they also seem to be a stronger clip as far as not bending to the point or past the point of no return, so to speak. Even if you don't replace the old one with a deep pocket clip it would be nice if we could purchase the deep pocket clip as an upgrade, just my two cents. I have purchased both knives that were sold on here, the Falcon and the Crux and absolutely love both of them. I did add little color to my Falcon and like the way it turned out, let me know what you guys think.

Thank you Massdrop/FF/WE for addressing the clip concerns. But 17% improvement on this part does not sound too promising...
Do you have pictures of where the new design clips bent? I'll bet they bent at the radius by where the clip is fastened to the knife. If the radius of that area was increased to a similar radius as the old design in the same area, i can see this would greatly improve the loading the clip can withstand.
It is nice to see that the clip would be easier to lift. Will make it nicer to put in the pocket. But I'll likely get my replacement clip and leave it off the knife in fear of bending it like the original clip.

PhucaneseNot trying to be a jerk here, but asking for easier lifting and more resistance to bending or at least deformation, sets up a dichotomy of sorts. At least from my perspective.

The design should not be around the max force but rather max deflection. the clips should be designed to go over belts for example so I would suggest making sure that the clips can bend enough.
xrlonlyYou may get a "Steve Jobs" response in that you are using the device wrong. These clips are designed to clip over a pocket, as evidence by the name "pocket clip". Making them large enough and flexible enough to fit over a belt, especially thicker ones like my 5.11 gun belt would doubtfully work on a knife this small.
