Incredibly stupid question about the Tasman Salt 2

[el gigantor]

I'm looking to pick up a nice serrated hawkbill for work and had a question before I do. If I remove the pocket clip, do I need to put the screws back in or can I keep them out? I ask this because a few of my knives (Cold Steel) have pocket clip screws that thread into the backspacer. I don't want to use the clip that comes with the Tasman 2, but I don't want to lessen the structural integrity of the knife. Any insight is appreciated folks!

The screws only hold the clip, not the frame, leave 'em out if you want.

AKAIK, the clip screws do nothing other than hold the clip in place.

So, if you want to remove them w/the clip, there's no reason to reinsert them in scale but you should make sure to store them w/the clip in the box (or where ever you keep such things if you toss the box), if/when you want to sell the knife (or use the clip in the future).
