A clip idea for Fenix owners

Hello friends
Sorry for my bad school english, i hope you will understand me.
Thank you very much for this interesting forum. I learn a lot and profit by your
knowledge.
So I will give you an idea. Perhaps its interesting for some of you.
I own several lamps but my favourite is my Fenix L1P with 2stage switch.
Thank you members.
I am german an live the most of the year in spain. So I wear often pants without a belt. My knife edc has a clip so I decide, that my Fenix must also have a clip. For a better protection, I will carry the lamp into the sheath and build the clip on the sheath.
I take a 2mm titanium plate (you can also take a stainless steel plate) and work with a flex and a file the clip. The finish I polish with a polishpaper and the colors I get with a gas-burner.
At last I glue the clip on the sheat and for safety I take a plait fishing-line through the holes of the clip and the strap.

I think, the most of you are be able to do this.

I wish you good luck and best regards

nice idea, would have never thought of that

Great first post, welcome to CPF :wave:
The color is beautiful, must try this!

That's cool!!

Great idea,
Have no idea were to get titanium but I should be able to dig up some stainless steel. Wish I could get more L1P holsters, it is the perfect addition to hold Peak Pacifics/Kilamanjaros, Fire~Fly-III and other lights.

:goodjob: love that Ti

Nice idea...I would love to see a Ti clip like on the McLux's....screw it into the small holes for the strap.

Hello Remington BPD and other friends,
i can't show you a clip on a McLux but perhaps it helps, to show you a clip on my inova. I made a 4mm thread in the hole for the strap and fixed the clip with an inbus srew. I find, it looks nice.

The advantage of TI as against Stainless Steel is imo the warmer feeling and the color. It's not so glitter and more tactical.

Best regards

Great clip!!

Reminds me of an old fountain pen.

I can't quite make out which INOVA you have there, It looks a little like an X5 - old style, but the black paint looks slick and glossy. Can you let us know?

Best Regards.

You're right, it's an old X5.
A tip for cutting Ti or Stainless Steel: I have best results with a flex and a
1mm disc for Stainless Steel. But be careful, only with goggles and gloves.
Good luck and best regards
