Benchmade help

[Debob]

Does anyone have an illustration or instructions on how to put a 5000 back together?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen one, but it's usually just a matter of "getting the hang of it."

I'd assume there's an anchor point in the handle for one side of the coil and one in the blade. You'll have to get one side seated and then hold the other side somehow while you line it up. Usually it's easiest to seat the handle side and then the blade.

Benchmade likely has some sort of jig made to make the process easy, but you'll have to use pliers, tweezers, etc. to get the job done.

Thanks for the tips. I spent a few hours on it with no success so I tossed it in bag and chucked it in the F-it bucket.

20 bucks for the bucket and its contents

Can't help you with a 5000, but Benchmade can. Send'm the parts and they'll put it together.

If the pivot spring is like the Volli series knife, there are videos on you tube about assembly.
