Yet another pocket clip question...

I have searched high and low but have not yielded any answers.
I want to know where the clip on the Alias II in the following pics came from. It is longer than the standard clip and the broken arrow and instead of pointing up at the end it flattens out. It also has Benchmade U.S.A stamped in it in small type. I asked Perado himself but he wasn't aware of the difference.

  Hey ice, This style clip was used in the mid 90's on most BM knives both folders and autos. when you see the small print(on the smaller style clip as well) you know it's an oldie.
  Here's a link to some great info.

  Oh and I like the Switchback user perado.

  Thanks Angler....Did some digging and finally saw a specimen in the 1997 catalog. Most of the catalogs only show the non-clip side (left side for those of us right handed).
  
  I am definitely a fan of the old school clip as it is feels better in the hand than the upturned ends on the current styles.

  I have also been looking for some different clips, i was wondering if anyone knew about some clips that would fit a 470-131 by any chance. I cant find any other clips that would be sold for a regular emissary, as that would fit. If anyone finds any itd be a great help!
