Spyderco question.

[The Old Jaybird]

Have a basic clip folder about 4 inches, and the clip is starting to loosen up. It appears that 3 small silver screws hold it on the handle, but I can't figure out if they are allen head, Torx, ???
My eyesight isn't the greatest these days, what do I need to tighten them up. I have tried all the small allens that I have and they were either too big, or just spun in the socket.

Any and all help appreciated.

On my knife it appears to be torx, I took a picture and enlarged it with my phone. The smallest torx I have is a t 10 and its smaller than that.

Torx 6 or 7, I will check when I get to work tomorrow morning and let you know for sure. And send you one if you need me to

I used a small Tork bit on mine. I have a micro set and am near you. You’re welcome to use it.

Also, the screws were originally glued in .......if you send it in to Spyderco with a $5 check they’ll sharpen it, replace and re-seal the screws and send it back.

Most likely a T6. Had to go to 4 different stores to find a T6 a few weeks ago, I had every other one except a 6, best of luck to you.

Found a small set at Home Depot, found one that fit and tightened everything up. Easy peasy with the right tool.

Thanks for the tips.

T6 for the clip screws and usually T8 for the handle screws. Pivots vary but usually a T8 or T10. If you carry any sort of modern folder a good set of Torx bits are very handy.
