I want to like the Lynch clips more than I do because I know that Casey Lynch is a good guy. However, I am all-in on the MXG clips because of their slightly different design and deeper carry. Thanks for the video!

Don’t own a MXG clip yet. Casey seems to have a greater variety of Spyderco clip sizes and colours. Sprung a Lynch clip on my seat belt and Casey replaced it, shipping included! He was great to deal with.

Great timing -- I was just comparison shopping between these two! I have an MXG and quite like it, but was drawn to the Lynch because of the way it flattens back out after the final ramp. I find that ridge on the MXG to be a slight hot spot on some knives.

Thx for the informative point of view. I have a new Para 3 and I want enough of the knife to grab on to so I'm thinking that the deepest carry is a bit too deep. based on what you have shown us here. I'll opt for the Lynch clip with the thinner metal and the offset of the lanyard hole. Again, thx for showing how the fit on the Para 3. I'm certain the MXG is a quality piece but for my liking I'll try the Lynch for a while to see how it rides. Opinions vary but I'm glad you showed us how they fit

I think the factory Spyderco clips are pretty nice. They slide right in most pockets. No need here to hide my knife with deep carry clips. That being said MXG has some pretty good clips along with Lynch. Who would have thought we would be paying 30+ for clips 😂. Here we are.

That MXG Gear Deep Carry Pocket clip in the Para 3 is for a Para 2. You can tell because it dies not have the offset for the lanyard hole. MXG makes one for a Para 3.it has the offset unlike. The Para 2

Look closer- it does have an offset on the side that interfaces with the scale. And you can see from this video it's different than the one on the PM2

@blueeyeswhitedragon98398 ай бұрын
The Lynch clip for the Para 3 is not as deep carry for TIP UP carry because it gives more clearance for the lanyard hole, but if you carry TIP DOWN then the clip does carry as deep as the MXG. A bit of a compromise depending on how you carry your Para 3 and if you like to use a lanyard. I personally use Lynch clips on most of my knives, mainly because I like their "stubby" version of clip and the service has been excellent. Edit:- l just checked and found that l don't use a specific Para 3 clip but l have the standard Lynch Spyderco Stubby clip that fits most new Spyderco knives with the 3 screw clip. I think in your video your Lynch clip is specific to the Para 3 ?
