Hi,
I have my Durando apart, when putting it back together how to the bushing go... Do the bushings sit together or on either side of the blade? I get it assembled and the blade lock won't move... I know, I know, I should have wrote all this down...

Thank,
Chad
 
The washers go on either side of the blade. You also need to have the small washer on the spring liner side, which would be the right side.
 
I took a pile of picks, I hope one of them helps you out!








On mine the larger washer goes to the right, opposite of the lock.
 
Thanks Guys. wh4f, way to go way out there with the pics. They really helped. I had the female and male screws backwards. Washers in the right place... That made a huge difference... Any idea what size driver I need for the scale screws?

Thanks,
Chad

If you're asking about an Alpha Dorado, the screws are T6.
 
Sorry if I confused you on the washers, but the way we (Buck) differ between scale sides is by looking at the top of the knife.

Yep, things get messy when ya screw backwards.

Size: T-6

That's cool to know Hang 'Em. Is that with the pivot pointing away from you as you look at it?

Thanks...
Goose.
 
Thanks for the size guys. You bunch are real helpful... I'll post pictures of the little brother later on... I got him off ebay really banged up. Opened him up and cleaned up the washers and screws and blade and handle. Now I gotta get the wood off and get some refinishing done...

Peace,
Chad
 
The female pivot should be coming from the right side, and the male fastner should be on the left side.
