A while back I reviewed the collector knives clip slip. But the Nitpick Knife Bro in me
thought clip was a little too industrial for pocket carry, a little oversized and kinda
tough. Woulda been good on a Cold Steel. Great for bags, or molle straps, chest rigs, boxers,
briefs, or even the belt- but it wasn’t quite as low profile a clip as a standard
pocket knife clip. If you watch some of my recent slip joint based videos, or follow
me on the evil Instagram… you’ll know Ive since then found a much better, but a
little pricier option- the DP steel and leatherwork clip slip. Compared to the collector knives
versions, it comes with a better lower profile clip and a lot more color options, so you
can do the totally normal thing and help coordinate your outfit with your knife. They’re handmade
made in Germany by a bearded man named Daniel and work out to be about 50-60 USD shipped
to the US depending on the size and shipping option. Some knives don’t have clips and
theres always a certain type of knife bro who removes their pocket clips, and are kinda
insufferable about telling everyone why clipless knives are better. That’s where this comes
in. It keeps the clipless knife at the top of the pocket for easy access. A few of my
favorite knives don’t have clips. So I bought the clip slip for them, a total of four now.
Let’s take a look. First a large for my GEC Bull Buster, which normally resides in
my man bag or man backpack, and in my man pocket too. Then we have a slightly custom
sized large for the Protech Don in fancy marbled green. A touch narrower than the regular large-
that would patina very well in your pocket, in theory if you could legally carry an auto
in the state which you lived. A medium for the Mercator K55K. Which is costs more than
the knife, but sometimes you have to treat yourself- because from a certain point of
view you’re probably worth it. And finally a small for the Lion Steel CK01. And remember
folks if you don’t have anything nice to say about slip joints keep it to yourself.
So now that we know the three basic sizes, lets examine the dimensions with those helpful
blue lines. It’s always fun explaining the blue line thing to new viewers. Note that
the large is patterned to fit the Buck 110 and 100% of it’s 90% brass. A large sodbuster
pattern knife works too, which what my Bull Buster is. The medium Daniel says works well
for the Northwoods Madison Barlow, the Boker Slack, or the Sacha Thiel Birdy. The Small
is perfect for the Lion Steel and the Benchmade Proper.
The leather used is thick and durable, and if you’re super annoying on a specific color,
you can email Daniel and work with him on it I’m sure. The deep carry pocket clip
itself is stainless steel, and on the clip side of the slips it’s lined with leather
to keep from scratching your expensive jewelry that you call a pocket knife. As far a springiness
of the clip it’s more like a spyderco para military 2, and not Cold Steel.
Links to Daniels website is in the description. He also makes wallets, keychains, notebook
covers, leather trays, and sheath danglers like this. Not sure about gimp masks, leather
whips, ass less chaps- so you still have to go elsewhere for your boutique bondage wear.
He makes this stuff in small batches so be patient. He’s on Instagram where I found
him. So please follow him there tooghghfvg . Like the video, subscribe. Comment. Say
