Q - How do I use both screws? I feel like I only need one but I’m unsure of the mechanics of how to properly use both screws.
A - All of the Hapstone universal spring steel clamps are incredibly versatile because of the 2 screw setting. It is very important to adjust the rear screw so the clamp can conform to the shape of your knife. Once everything is aligned nicely with the blade grind shape, then you can tighten both screws. Here are 2 examples:
If your knife has a "flat" parallel ground section at the spine and you want to clamp one clamp on this position, then you would adjust the rear screw to open the clamp up enough for the clamp to be flat and parallel when clamped onto this flat area of the knife after the front screw is tightened.
If your knife has a full flat ground blade (like a common Spyderco type grind as an example), then you'll have to adjust the rear screw to open the rear part of the clamp up wide enough so the clamp can align with both sides of the blade when the front screw is tightened.
Basically, your clamps should be adjusted so both sides of the clamp aligns and conforms with the shape of the blade you're clamping. Hope this makes sense?
