What's the make Dougng, off to Japan soooooooon…G
Giles, that is a Kershaw Shun knife from the Ken Onion design line. As far as I know, that particular brand has pretty good worldwide distribution. You'll be able to find it when you go to Japan, but you'd probably find it just as easily in higher end kitchen stores in the UK. I know that they are pretty common in nicer kitchen stores out here in the US.

Nice, the Spyderco UKPK is def a hot model right now
Went to Lowes over the weekend, was really tempted to buy another Sodbuster, but managed to resist the urge. At less than $20, it's hard not to justify having one around at all times (front door to open boxes, kitchen to open packaging/cut cooking twine, car just in case, office for envelopes/bagels). I just put one in each location
I much prefer the yellow handled ones with the carbon blades over the black handles with stainless blades though

Ok so I'm getting a Hubertus leverlock switchblade hopefully in the next week. Any thoughts?
I like those, they are fun to play with. Are they legal to carry where you live?

LOL, I know a lot of people who carry autos and balis illegally as well.

I bought the Spyderco UKPK lightweight edition a few weeks ago from Handy Niknaks (no affiliation) after spending far too much time on the British Blades forum. Not bad for just under £47 including postage and legal to carry in the UK. Now I want a custom made Shing Crafts UK legal EDC but, after discovering IH, it might have to wait until next year!

LOL, you guys crack me up
You could try the epoxy thing first, but I'm not sure that will work. What looks like has happened is that the clip was bent so far the screw has seized into place.
The harder (but more likely to work) would be to file a notch into the screw and use a flat head screwdriver.
You could also cover up the side of the knife with a couple layers of nail polish (to protect the finish) and then try and grab the outside of the screw with a pair of pliers. Remove the nail polish with acetone afterwards (regular nail polish remover)
If you do manage to get the screw out, take the new screw, and without putting the clip in, put in and take out the screw a few times to reset the threads on the female side. Don't use too much force or you'll wind up with the same problem again.
Lastly, you could try to drill the screw out, or send the knife into CRK for a repair.
