Customize Your Carry — 315/315BK-01 Successor™

The Successor™ brings together classic pocket knife functionality and modern precision engineering. Each knife comes with a black leather sheath featuring a removable pocket clip, allowing you to carry it in four different ways, so you can choose the style that best suits your daily routine or environment.

Carry Options

• Clip on Leather Sheath: Carry your knife in the sheathed clip for secure, quick access—protected yet always within reach.

• No Clip on Leather Sheath: Go clip-free for a clean, low-profile look, with the sheath providing protection from the elements.

• Clip on Knife Handle: Carry the knife in your pocket with the clip attached for easy retrieval. This method allows for fast access while keeping your knife secure.

• No Clip on Knife or Sheath: For minimalists, carry the knife without sheath or clip—lightweight, simple, and always ready.

How to Swap the Clip from Sheath to Handle

Tools Required

• T6 Torx Screw (included with purchase)

• Blue Thread Locker (included with purchase)

Steps

1. Remove the clip from the sheath:

   • From the back of the sheath, remove the screw holding the clip in place.

   • Slide the pocket clip off the sheath.

   • Reinstall the screw into the sheath for safekeeping—it won’t be needed further.

2. Attach the clip to the knife handle:

   • On the right-hand side scale, remove the screw at the rear of the knife.

   • The D-nut (the part the screw anchors into) should come out easily; if not, tap the handle lightly against your palm.

   • Slide the pocket clip into the small gap between the scale and liner. There may be slight friction—the clip only installs one way for right-hand carry.

   • Apply a very small amount of blue thread locker to the screw threads if desired.

   • Reinsert the D-nut from the left side of the knife with the flat side facing the rear of the handle.

   • Hold the D-nut in place and insert the screw through the pocket clip.

   • Tighten until snug, but avoid overtightening.

Pro Tips

• Always check that screws are snug after installing or repositioning the clip.

• Only use a small amount of thread locker—a little goes a long way.

• For left-handed users, the clip is not reversible but can be carried clip-free in the sheath for ambidextrous comfort.
