annoying problem with the Gigand knife by Fred Carter?

screw keeps coming out

Try putting some low strength loc-tite around the screw. Careful though, you might mess up the smoothness a little if you screw up.

Be sure and use a degreaser on the threads first.

Which Gigand knife though? Most people have complained about the screws loosening with the Spectrums. I have a Titan w/ Ti scales and a Tornado with no looseness to the screws (and it's been more than a year of use for both).

What I like about the Gigands is that they are inexpensive, non-threatening, fairly high quality knives -- especially the Titan.

Thanx for the info. I own the Spectrum LT and it performs well except of course the screw pin coming out. I lost one screw during work. I sent it back to get a new knife and i'll try the method's that were mentioned in the forum.

Good luck with the return. I recall Cougar breaking the handle on his Mosquito (his now infamous "sit" test) and not getting a replacement...
