If I remove the clip and replace the three screws, will they contact the blade when opening and closing ?

Yes, they do interfere with the action of the blade. I don't like clips and removed mine. I tried putting the screws back in and ... I just left them off, they don't do anything other than hold the clip on.

I don't know. I must tell you this knife is kinda large to be carried as a pocket knife. Tac force makes several knives that are lighter and small enough for pocket carry. I do not like a clip carry, but that is a personal decision. Jim S.

If the pocket clip is removed, the pocket clip attaching screws will not hit the blade. The knife is a cheap design and the blade will sometimes contact the screws/supports holding the two sides of the grip together. I recommend replacing all screws on the knife with a better brand. To be safe, just buy a kershaw brand knife with good screws and lock nuts from the start.

Unless you grind them down or snip them off with diagonal cutters you have a chance of making contact. I replaced most of the screws in the knife and the ones that I kept original I used thread locker on them so the did not fall out. I recommend you use thread locker on all of the screws. Good luck!

I would believe they would. The knife is very nice, especially for the price. I was looking for one with a brown wood look. The clip could be removed, however I think you would need smaller screws, even then I would think the contact to blade would still be there.

Yes, but you probably don't want to. Let me elaborate: The clip is mounted onto a plate, which is mounted onto the actual frame of the blade with a single screw. When you remove the clip, you, in essence, add about 1/16 of an inch to the length of the mounting screws. So, while there are no holes between the mounting plate and the actual frame of the blade (and therefore the mounting screws won't touch the blade), the screws will create separation when tightened all the way in (which is ugly) or will stick out slightly (which will cause them to either fall out, catch on things, or look generally terrible).

Yes, push the blade handle low enough for the file to close on top of it and press it all the way down, the top and bottom blades will close and touch. It won't damage the blades, I've had this style of clippers for many, many years, never had any issues with dull or damaged blades. Good Luck.

Yes the blade locks..... unfortunately the blade lock goes to far and now it won't close anymore.

Yes, as already replied. Look at the side of the knife for a small tab and remove the screw from it.

To close the blades there is a button on the base of the blade . To close the screwdrivers there is a button about 1 in down from the base of the blade and the pliers just fold back up. It will be alittle stiff when new but it will breakin

I would say yes even tho I've never tryed and no longer have it to confirm. Theirs a star like screw near the blade which I assume is used to tighten it but not sure. I like to add I did like the knife.

not sure what you mean by screw! the thumb lock should be in place under the blade once opened. if you mean the nub on the blade to assist with opening? then it should have been on it. if ether of these pieces are missing you received a defective product. if you need replacement pieces then contact seller or manufacturer . hope this helps!

no I don't think so, the blade slides on a metal/plastic tip on the back of the clipper and then pushs closed

If you hold the blade upside down and release the lock the blade will fall open. That's how mine came right out of the box. Not sure about loosening or tightening the screws and what affect that will have though as I've never tried. In my opinion this knife is great and worth the try, as you can always return it.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

There is a small piece of metal in the handle that u have to push over to unlock the blade. That will allow you to close the knife.

if the blades are the same as the first yes it should fit now the closeness of the cut may differ then u would have to make adjustments to it

The Andis clippers are designed so the blade snaps and slides onto the clippers. The screws are fixed, and they don't need to be touched in order to replace the blade quickly. In looking at a picture of the clippers, the blade edge can be pushed back with your thumbs (it requires some force/pressure). When the blade is pushed back, it will slide off the clippers and allow another blade to slide on quickly. Then the blade is pushed back into the clippers, and the clippers are ready for use again. No need to touch the screws. Switching blades can be done in a just a few seconds.

Yes. It will. But I don't know why you'd bother with the old ones even if you have a case of them lying around. The ones Irwin makes work so much better. They are more securely pinned down. They wobble less. And they have breakaway tips so that when one gets dull, rather than opening up the knife and replacing it, half of the time you snap it off and continue working with a new edge.

No, I don't think so. These blades come off when you push a button on the unit. They are much easier to use than taking them on and off with a screwdriver.

The clip is riveted on. If removed you would need to come up with another way to reattach it.

No, the blade fold open and closed. They do not lock in position once opened.
