The pocket clip on my Banter got caught on something at work and got bent like this.
It should be as simple as taking the clip off and bending it back, right?
Send it over to me, Ill fix it for you
Turn it over and replace. Bend it the other way only at the bend point. Needle nose may help too.
Some metals have a kind of shape memory. You might be able to heat the metal which will help it bend back into shape with a little pressure. Don’t force it though, because you will stress the steel which will cause a fracture.
Just screw it by turning it 180 degrees and push it a couple of times.
Your moms flexible
Take it off. Heat it up. Bend it back with two needle nose pliers. Cool it off. Put it back on.
I wouldn’t try to bend it back. You may stress the steel beyond it’s breaking point.
If I were you I would try to buy a cheap titanium deep carry clip for it. Tends to be less than 20 bucks and is typically stronger than steel, if it’s actually titanium.
It probably is. But you have to unscrew it from the knife to try.
It’s probably not hardened and spring tempered, since it bent and didn’t break.
Apply some heat to it bend it back you will be just fine
I have taken plyers to the clip still attached and bend it at the apex. Give a little squeeze nothing too aggressive. Should be able to get it flush with your grip.
I would heat the bend and put it in a vice to slowly bend it back, the heat should stop it from snapping
I’ve removed several pocket clips and simply bent them back without any problems.
Put in in a vice, apply light pressure gradually until u get the desired retention, good as new 👍🏻
