I purchased the Gerber Applegate-Faribairn mini folder from Wal-Mart several years ago, and took random carrying habits with it throughout the time that I've had it.
I never had any trouble whatsoever from it, as the blade remained sharpened for EDC issues, with only sharpening it from necessity two or three times.
However, I noticed the other day as it was laying on my nightstand that the belt clip looked slightly bent. When I picked it up, I noticed that one of the small hexed retainment screws that hold the clip in place was missing!
I was wondering if any of you had similar troubles from this knife, or is it pretty commonplace to lose a screw from time to time? Maybe I should have used some loctite on the threads?
