I'm happy that it has a pocket clip, and that it's a very secure design for the pocket clip. I had to get rid of my clip-on S2+ clips because they tended to go flying. My D4 pocket clip is great, though.
While I generally like black, painted clips chip over time and look bad. Iāll come out against this, but buy the same number regardless of the finish on the clip.
I canāt tell from the photo if itās painted or some kind of conversion coating like black oxide or parkerizing.
Or perhaps its light playing tricks on the photo.
Personally, I donāt have a strong preference one way or the other. I just hope the community doesnāt make collectively as big of deal about the clip color as we went through about the body color.
Hmmmm, āpersonallyā I do not see black; just lighting anomalies. But that & any other speculation is counterproductive at this point. It is useless. Time will tell.
The good news is new prototypes are being sent out, so hopefully we will have info soon. Also that āshouldā mean we are close to production. Maybe.
