Liteoptec / Honeybadger
This is a shout out to Liteoptec / Honeybadger and James for their great service.
I had one of their older medium opener models.
The old clips were a bit weak and this one bent and broke. I picked up a new clip only to discover that the screws holding the broken clip in were broken.
I sent the knife in to see if they could repair it.
They are replacing it at no cost to me instead.Cattle die, kindred die, every man is mortal:

They are good little blades for the price. I have a bunch of expensive stuff but I carry these. I won't cry if I lose it or break it.

Re: Liteoptec / Honeybadger
I'm still waiting over a year later for replacement scales
I'm still waiting over a year later for a response to an email I sent under warranty
Glad you got great service, but after having two Honeys clips break,I went back to CRKT
Not knocking the knife, it's great value, but twice bitten makes me more than shy

Re: Liteoptec / Honeybadger
the clips.....
been threw 5 over a 2 year period on 2 knives at R90 each. it is a touch annoying.
knifes are great, use them hard and often, both still center, flip open well.
find the d2 does hold edge longer but not huge advantage.

Re: Liteoptec / Honeybadger
I've been through plenty knife clips. Benchmade, CRKT, Spyderco etc. I am pretty hard on gear.
Some could be replaced, others could not.
I don't mind dropping a hundo on a knife clip once in a while, especially when they are easily obtainable.
I will concede that the clips on the HBs are a weak point not so much in design but material.Cattle die, kindred die, every man is mortal:

Re: Liteoptec / Honeybadger
I've had my medium flipper for about 2 years and it works hard. Daily use. Dropped it from catwalks and used it as a bottle opener. No complaints at all.
