Getting screwed

[STEEL CORE]

I bought a Smith and Wesson “SWAT” magic LBS knife. It’s missing two of the pocket clip stainless tiny screws, and after search , after search, I cannot seem to find them.

HELP!

I asked google what a Smith and Wesson “SWAT” magic LBS knife was. Looks like they are t6 screws. I would try calling and asking s&w to send you some.

Who did you buy it from? That’s where I’d start. JMO.

E bay, great deal on knife and advertised as missing the two clip screws.

Don't be surprised if you find, after you get the proper screws, that the threads are stripped in the holes. If the knife says S&W on it you'd be $ ahead to pitch it rather than buy a bigger tap and screws to match.

Don’t know why I got two pics above of the same knife side, but that’s a S&W “SWAT” knife LBS is large.
I e mailed S&W…..
It is what it is..
Any place close to Indy have them?
I almost went to the 1500, but that cost was too much for two screws no one might have had.

I do not mean to be offensive at all but most Smith and wesson knifes I've seen were 20 bucks or less. Its probably not worth the headache. Just buy one at TSC Or somewhere like that.

Not going to find anyone selling s&w knife screws at a gun show. Maybe a hardware store, but unlikely.

You could go to Walmart and buy an ozark trail knife for $4. Probably uses the same screws.

If you want to send me your address I can send you a couple benchmade screws that might work for you…they will be black though.

 

[WhitleyStu]

I think I have what you need. PM me your address and I will mail out several screws.

Small tack weld in each hole and forget about it.

@STEEL CORE
I have the same knife and had the same issue.
Because I know the sales guy for Taylor Brands who makes those he sent me a bunch of extra screws and clips.
Give me a day or so and I will hook you up.

This is exactly why the Ingo community is so awesome.

I was gonna say to find an old laptop to disassemble, there’s plenty of small screws of various sizes in them, and there might be some that fit.

Thanks guys it looks like the main screw through the knife is reversed too, the big one that holds the blade as the reverse stud sticks out a bit, I need to reverse it.
Sliding blade lock on the left side won’t lock the blade closed in your pocket, that doesn’t bother me much as it clicks open just fine, and other than somebody once took it apart and a couple of screws missing, I like it.

As for (the main screw) lock tite or even a drop of your wife’s nail polish mite suffice. It may seem reversed for mechanical reasons.

Almost every pocket knife manufacturer makes a S&W knife. Smith loves to make money on there name. Hence almost all have a different thread pitch.




Here is one thats been sitting beside me for a year and a half, just reached over and got it off the coffee table n put it on my knee. I loose about half dozen a year. They make great spur of the moment X-mas gifts. SMKW sells them for very reasonable prices.

If your putting one in your back pocket, be prepared to loose it. If you can find them in Hunter Orange, get a half dozen, you’ll thank me later. ….

edit: No offense meant, just attempting to give you my best advice on your question. Best of luck.

I have found small odd ball screws at Earl's on Gasoline Alley in Speedway and MPH in Brownsburg.

As others suggest, Wallymart for a cheapie knife, and remove the clip screws. Put a drop of superglue and install. Or...find a nylon belt case and carry it like a Buck Knife 110?
Maybe a Buck case will be ok?

I've seen eyeglass repair kits that include the tiny screwdrivers and sometimes an assortment of screws, nose pad, etc. It's a random encounter so I can't say when or where I last saw one. A quick search on Amazon showed several options for pocket knife clips and screws, the prices go from $6 - $17 or so. This one stuck out:
