SouthOrd Jacknife Pick Modification

[east_stingray]

Hello to all. I'm polling for some ideas here. I have the SouthOrd Jacknife pick with the fiberglass handle and I would like to put a pocket clip on it like you see on some pocketknives. I rarely carry keys (and think it's terribly ironic that this LOCK PICK was made to go on a key ring). I don't think I'll have any trouble fashioning the clip part; my question is what is the best way to secure it to the handle? I've thought of two things:

1) Actually tapping the handle with a tiny drill bit and using very small screws (kind of like the Gerber pocket clips)

2) Using some sort of epoxy to secure it. I don't really know what kind of epoxy or cement would be best and least messy for this, so any thoughts would be helpful.

Any thoughts/critiques/insight would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I would recommend AGAINST option 1 because although it would look nice and spiffy, chances are the fiberglass will quickly strip out. If you do use cement, just sand down the edges and sand the surface smooth, and it will look nice and proffessional. Heck, if you're really crazy, you could even paint it!

I would tap out the pin next to the thumbscrew that holds the picks in place and replace it with a small nut and bolt to hold the clip. Or you could just use the hole that is already in the handle for the key ring.

Thanks for the ideas, guys.
