Due to the difficulty of getting Shirogorov parts in the US at the moment I went ahead and 3d modeled some parts. I'm currently getting quotes from machine shops. The pivot screw looks like it will run about $12-18 (not including shipping) if it were made from 304 Stainless and I order a run of 50 of them. The price fluctuates depending on how many days it would take to get them....from two weeks to a month. I only want 5 or so for myself so I'm looking to see if there's any interest from others. It'll run ~45 bucks a screw if I only order 5 :( And I'll also have to bead blast the slot and finish the face of the screw so that they'll match.

I was also planning on making the handle / clip screws (Same size) and 3d printed bits for 1/4" hex drivers to remove the screws without damaging the face of the screw.

The un-slotted "back side" of the pivot and/or handle clip could also be made but I wasn't planning on doing a run.

Oh...and these are all the slot type screws not the triangular ones use on their custom models.

Just curious if there was any interest Any I apologize to the mods if I put this in the wrong forum....couldn't decide between maintenance or in selling.

Also of note is that TrueNorthKnives should be handling (or at least guiding???) warranty and non-warranty issues for Shirogorov in the upcoming months so actual Shirogorov screws may be more accessible in the near future.


Cheers
 
I would be interested , if i could get the pivot screw out of my knife, I cannot figure out how to unscrew that without the other side turning, and it is frustrating, I have tried a pencil eraser and magnets , no luck
and the knife 111 with washers is to tight and will not open easy.

any thoughts ?
