Cold Steel American Lawman Taken Apart

I really think the blade would break before the lock gave out.

Andrew told me that on the regular Cold Steel knives, the blade breaks before the G10 handles give way.
However on his customs, due to the thicker/stronger blade and lock, an unlined G10 handle will break first (at some insanely high load). Solution: Ti liners to strengthen the handle even more! :thumbup:

As long as it's all the way back in the slot it's good. :thumbup:


There is only one way to put it in, the Bent end goes up towards the lock bar.

Here is the Black Rhino so you can get the idea.

Thanks! I'll have another go at it tonight.

Ankerson, looks like the rocker and stop pins are press-fit into the G10? Are they toothed (like gear teeth) one one side or something?
thanks,

Not that I noticed.

Thanks, how do they attach to the other G10 slab? I haven't seen that side, is it just a torx screw?
