The BMs are made there - except for much of the Red Box line - which has been dropped this year. Some of those models are still available in their H-D and HK catalogs.
BM uses blue Loctite on all screws. Sometimes they miss one - or more - check the other screws, too. Their 'Blue Box' toolkit, or Kershaw's keychain kit, will have the required T6 & T10 sizes. If you need to remove a blue Loctited screw, rather than twisting the little Torxx wrench in a knot, try the heat from a clean/dry 25-30 Watt soldering pencil's point applied to said screw's head for 5-10 seconds first. That 'breaks' blue Loctite's bond, allowing easier removal. I learned this when removing my BMs' clip screws. To secure, literally, a toothpick's point teeny drop is sufficient. If you don't clean the 'old' off the pivot screw, it will hold pretty well for some time.
BMs can come out so dull that external heat is required to cut butter. My first, a 551 seven years back, and my second, a 201 over two years ago, were in such a state 'out of the box' new. I bought twelve more last year - some from '04 - old models/old stock - all were quite sharp. One, a 670 Apparition, came less the handle screws under the clip! Great CS resulted in more screws - including clip screws I boogered before I learned the 'heat' trick. BM's are now a sickness here... gotta get to the pusher's... bye, now!
