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. I’ll come out against this, but buy the same number regardless of the finish on the clip.
I can’t tell from the photo if it’s painted or some kind of conversion coating like black oxide or parkerizing.
Or perhaps its light playing tricks on the photo.
Personally, I don’t have a strong preference one way or the other. I just hope the community doesn’t make collectively as big of deal about the clip color as we went through about the body color.
Hmmmm, ’personally’ I do not see black; just lighting anomalies. But that & any other speculation is counterproductive at this point. It is useless. Time will tell.
closer production then this it cant be since they are releasing those lights if it gets ok from those people they will start production so that sounds positive to me.
Sorry, we didn’t say that the production version will have a black pocket clip but this is definitely black and it is not due to a lightning anomaly.
The problem is to know if they are going to adopt this black clip for the production version or if it was just a color test that they finally rejected.
It is not the first and unexpected “drift” from the initial prototype, so we would like to know for sure what the production version will definitely looks like.
