How to Repair Pocket Knife Clip

I did this at Techshop.

The clip of my pocket knife got caught and bent outwards. It was inconvenient and I decide a quick fix was in order.

Supplies Needed:

- 1 Bent up pocket knife

- Wooden shim

- Bench vise

I used a piece of scrap paneling from the bin in the wood shop. I hit it on the sander for two seconds an voila, I had a shim.

Place the shim at the top bend in the clip. Doing this will help to retain the shape of the clip rather than flattening it out.

Place the knife and the shim in the vise. Get it right at the bend and turn up the pressure. It doesn't take much.

Now you have a pocket knife that will remain in your pocket even while doing hand stands.
