Triple E EDC Thank you, sir.

Alex Alex Excellent! I’m glad the video was helpful for you 👊

Hendrik-Jan van Dijk Nothing wrong with preference. PVD DLC is much tougher than Cerakote though. I haven’t counted number of options, but Lynch has blue, bronze, purple, tumbled, blasted, etc. Definitely lots of choices out there, in general.

MXG are not suited for edc. They break easily. And they have zero customer service

@@Jen130000 they break easily? How so?

Thanks for the video ! I ordered the mxg a week or 2 ago. Haven’t received it yet but I think I made the right choice. I like the look a little better and prefer the shorter clips. No disrespect to Casey though, he does great work.

@@imyouridol1605. Yes it got caught on an immovable object. But where steel will just bend and can be reshaped. The titanium just snapped. I’m a heavy machinery tech. And have to squeeze into tight spaces sometimes. No danger of office copiers around me.

I’m glad you found the video helpful 🙏👊

Thank you, sir for the kind words. I am glad you found value in the information. I hope you and yours have a great Friday and a great weekend. 🙏👊

I also recently purchased a Lynch clip for a Delica. the K390 Wharncliffe which straight up obliterates cardboard. Too bad you have to buy an aftermarket clip but good for Casey Lynch for providing a nice solution.

Thank you, sir 👊

Aaron Harris 👊 I’m glad you found the video helpful.

MrRuination Casey definitely has great customer service. Like you said, to be fair, I’ve never needed to contact MXG. However, Casey has always responded quickly, professionally, and in great detail to any question I have had. I cannot as for more than that. Especially now that it’s getting harder and harder to find retailers that have decent service 👌

MrRuination good to know , thanks. I just might have to try one.

This is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I’ve read. You had a bad experience because of what YOU did. You called lynch, he hooked you up and based on that he won you over? Then you say “ to be fair, you didn’t give the other company a chance” so how could you even think making a comment like that would make sense? This is a perfect example of how companies can be effected because of commentary like this. You put one up on a pedestal without giving the other a chance. So anyone that reads what you wrote will automatically think Lynch is the better of the 2. Everyone who read your entire diatribe is now dumber because of it. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

@@johnnydanger1305 he didn't "hook me up". That's his policy for everyone and it's called outstanding customer service... That's something I judge companies by, and I shared my experience and opinion on the matter because it was relevant to the discussion here. BTW, if I wanted to throw MXG under the bus I would have updated my comment with the fact that I purchased a clip from them for my ZT-0450 (Lynch doesn't make clips for the 0450), and it was too loose out of the box. It wouldn't grab my pockets and as such would easily slide out. It literally didn't do what a clip is supposed to do. I contacted them, and I was informed to "bend it" to fix this issue. Yes, I was told to take care of it myself... for a brand new product that didn't perform it's one job. You want an apples to apples comparison? There you go. Now go cry into your pile of salt while you watch Adam Sandler movies, because I have no more time for your sophomoric meltdowns.

@@MrRuination if you said that from the get go, about the clip being loose compared to your experience with lynch, would have made more sense, guy. The fact that you didn’t mention your bad experience but you got over 200 likes (probably from people who think benchmade bugouts are worth the overpricing) could easily make MXG look inferior. That’s even before your ill experience. Just tell me that you only buy American made knives and we are all good.

Jeremy Smith If you like the asthmatics of the MXG there’s nothing wrong with that. However, if/when you’re looking again, shoot Casey an email. Very responsive, very detailed, always willing to help, and I’ve never heard of him not responding within 24-48 business hours. He usually has everything in stock besides PVD which is a significant upgrade over MXG’s creakote.

BillMc89 Once I found out about emailing Casey, I won’t go back to waiting for stores to get them in stock. I listed his email somewhere below. Very professional, quick, and thorough responses 👌.

D E Thanks. Yeah, I put another Lynch on a smooth G10 PM2 on Tuesday. I’m having a hard time choosing.

D E Anytime 👊

I am glad you found it useful 🙏👊

I am glad you found it useful 🙏👊

Ben Kurth Thanks. Yeah, availability seems to be the one thing that keeps coming up. It is a bit of a pain. I’ve found the best way to deal with it is to email him directly. Even then, he doesn’t always have every model in stock.

Availability is fine these days as Casey Lynch has his own website store now. Some color variations may be backordered and out of stock, but in the past couple of weeks I ordered and received a nice cerakote red deep carry clip for a blacked out Para 3. I am completely satisfied with my orders from his business.

Matt Gregg Thanks. Yeah, I put another Lynch on a smooth G10 PM2 on Tuesday. I’m having a hard time choosing.

Alchemy_1 I saw on Casey’s Instagram yesterday that he has come up with a lot more color options also. I’m gonna have to check some of those out as well.

Thanks, man 👊

Joshua Briggs very good info. I agree. They’re very close. Casey’s customer service is what would win me over.

@@Alumapro23 agreed! Casey is very responsive and has always been a pleasure to deal with for me too.

baddnewsedit Thanks, man. 👊

dlby3 Thanks, man. I’m right there with you. You’ll only see American made stuff here. There are only a few rare exceptions.

Joel Doherty Thanks, man 👊

🙏👊

Peter Fanizzi Nice haul. Did you email Casey?

Alchemy_1 ..thank you.... no I haven’t, I looked at most popular knife sites and saw they were sold out...I’ll give him a shot. Thanks again for useful info.

reaction9449 I can’t disagree. Thanks for the comment 👊

Scott Simmons Thanks man. That sounds like a cool project 👊

Very good point. Thank you very much 👊🙏

Gman1024 No problem, man. I prefer Lynch. I sold the knife I put the MXG clip on with the clip attached. Neither is bad, but I just like the Lynch a bit better. Especially knowing how good Casey is to deal with.

Tim Edward Thank you, sir. Thank you for the info to think about as well. I have not tried these tip down. I didn’t switch over to top down until recently.

blacksheep4733 Thanks 👊

Matt Baker We all win when there are options and competition 👊

Mxg Gear sends silver screws with black pocket clips and doesnt state that on the website. I emailed customer support and the owner was very rude and didnt care and refuses to update website and keeps scamming people. His customer support is HORRIBLE! If your buying a black clip you want black screws.

@@topsongs4185I had a minor install issue and received a prompt polite reply.

Cris Hoff Fair enough. There are lots of option on the market and I’m sure they suite a wide variety of buyers. Even though the new clone Lynch clips on Ali Express make me sick. I hate thieves.

James Moore I definitely know what it’s like to get a bad taste in your mouth. His clips have a lifetime warranty and people have even had them replaced when they’ve snagged them and snapped them. It’s worth an email to him. He’s got customer service like I’ve never seen. I’ve sent him 2 emails. Both times he replied within 24 hours, the email was several paragraphs long, and he was more than eager to help. My buddy just emailed him about buying a clip and he got the same type of service.

@@Alumapro23 Thanks! I bought it from BladeHQ, so I went through them for service. They didn't have any replacements and gave me a refund (although they didn't refund the shipping fee, which was disappointing on a defective item). Lynch clips can be hard to come by, while the MXG clips are readily available. Maybe if I find his clips through another vendor, I'll give them a try again.

James Moore Yeah, that does suck. I’ve had mixed results with BHQ and prefer to use them as a last resort. GPK and DLT on the other hand 👌👌👌. Shoot him an email. Best way to buy and a few bucks cheaper. He always seems to have clips unless you want PVD black.

Lynch used to have PVD finishing which is a chemical process and not just a coating. He has since moved to a coating of some type.

Al 76 Email Casey. He usually has everything in stock besides the black PVD which is a huge upgrade to MXG’s painted on cerakote. It seems like this has come up a few time, I’m going to do a follow up vid, probably today, with Casey’s email info. Functionally and cosmetically, they are super similar and I think anyone would have a hard time telling them apart if they didn’t look at them. The flex of the clip is a bit different, but I don’t think enough for the average end user to notice.

Alchemy_1 thanks for the info do you happen to know Casey email

Al 76 It’s in the comments here. It’s come up 3-4 times. It’s laseaf1 at gmail or something like that. It’ll be in the follow up vid I do today along with how detailed, helpful, and professional he is.

Alchemy_1 thanks

James Riley Strong Yeah, the guys are having a conversation about availability down below. There definitely are some hoops to jump through or time to wait. Not the greatest thing. I guess that’s the downside of having a 1 man show.

Good to know. They may have expanded the lineup this video is a few years old.

@@Alumapro23 which I realized after watching.

@@Danh103663 I appreciate you telling me about the new clips though.

bianconeri1993 There is like $1-$2 difference from one company to the other. 🤷‍♂️

My point is - with all that special fancy packaging and comparable prices - maybe mxg put more money into materials

bianconeri1993 I’ve handled both side by side and, if anything, it’s the same quality Ti and same quality laser/water jetting. MXG also uses black cerakote for their black clips. Lynch uses a PVD process. Much more involved and much more durable.

bertraminc He has changed since this vid came out a year ago or so, but yes, PVD. It’s one of my favorite finishes too. I think he stopped using it because of the time it took to send them out and get them done. Pure speculation, but that’s how I know he’s using PVD because before I bought this clip, he said he was waiting for his guy to do the work.

But HOW do you install itttttttt

Jorgen Sandstrom I even have a video on that with visual direction of the text directions the man himself gave me. 👊

@@Alumapro23 Awesome! Will check it out. 👍

Randy F. Yes sir. He deals through them, River’s Edge Cutlery, and Blade HQ. I’m torn on which brand is my favorite, but Lynch would sell me everyday of the week and twice on Sunday because of his customer service. Great guy to deal with.

@@Alumapro23 Absolutely, I like to support Smaller American businesses whenever possible.

Randy F. Absolutely! I love being able to support small businesses. 👊

Bladehq just got some yesterday.

I email Casey directly if I can’t find them other places. Great dude to work with.

A Ray 👆 What these guys said. I don’t think BHQ got them today, but Casey did post pics and said he was shipping them today. That means several retailers should be getting some. Emailing him directly is also a great way. He’s very quick to respond, thorough in his responses, and very professional. One of the best interactions with a business owner I’ve ever had. thelastleaf1@gmail.com

@@Alumapro23 Your right bladehq didn't get them today they got them yesterday and still have them at the moment 👊🏽🗡

IT'S ME 👊 Had to go back and fact check myself. I hate spreading false info. That’s some of the fastest shipping ever. 19 hours ago Casey said they were headed to BHQ. 👌

Knife Culture USA I you just put one on a knife and in hand, it’d be almost impossible to tell a difference. The Lynch has a bit more spring to the clip. If I’m choosing based on the whole package, I’m a Lynch guy all the way. Small business, easy to reach, he’s a member of the community that is engaged in the community, better packaging, great customer service.....

@@Alumapro23 I started wiith the mxg because at the time no one had lynch clips , and then it kinda stuck

Knife Culture USA I understand that. That’s the downside of being a 1 man small business. Supply. He’s usually pretty good at getting batches out and communicating when they’ll be out, if you shoot him an email. I get not wanting to wait too though.

😉👊

They cost the same and, at least at this time, Lynch used PVD and MXG used duracoat. The rest is debatable.

Because people are counterfeiting something, you don’t support the company themselves? You just buy from a different company?

Yes because I've seen a number of US-based companies selling the Chinese clips at a huge markup and for all I know, this company could be doing the same thing.

PointyFox Which companies are you taking about? DLT, BHQ, Three Rivers Cutlery, etc all get Lynch clips directly from Lynch. There’s also the option to email Casey directly and order.

Lord Sathanus At the time of recording this video, the MXG was more expensive. ~$30, while the Lynch was -$27. I was also not just referring to the full packaging. I should have shown even his basic packaging. Even when you buy direct and he send it out in just a small brown cardboard box, he has his own stamps and a card in the box. Means zero for the functionality of the clip, but it instills confidence in attention to detail, IMO.

bianconeri1993 Everyone prioritizes differently. Nothing wrong with that. Packaging withstanding, I still like the idea of dealing with and supporting an individual over a larger “corporation”, if you will.

I’m not sure of the size of mxg - I was looking for a clip for my para3 - Lynch was out of stock everywhere I could find - then I found mxg and took a chance - they ship out of pa

bianconeri1993 Hit Casey up. Lastleaf1@gmail.com. Can’t remember if I said that in this video or another. He’s very responsive and very detailed. Whichever video it was I showed the long email reply he sent me with full details.

Good information. Communication and engagement is one of the reasons I prefer Casey’s stuff. I’ve even discovered that there’s a FB Group since I made this video.

@ Alchemy_1. A FB page devoted to what?

Jen130000 All things Lynch.

MajorC202 I’ve never had to email them. Everything I’ve wanted is up for sale on the site. I honestly haven’t looked too hard though. I prefer Lynch.

@@Alumapro23 Yes sir, after your video that's exactly who I'm going to try. Be well, be safe.

MajorC202 👊 same to you.
