cold steel makes some pretty good knives, despite the warrenty. I own the aluminum version ti-lite, a good defense knife and an ok edc. The problem is that there is a little up and down blade play, and I don't know the torx sizes to take it apart and find the problem. I have a driver for the pivot skrew, but I have no idea what the size is for the tiny skrews along the handle. Do any of you guys know the size? I was also curious of how to remove the blade finish.
 
T6 for the handles, and I can't remember if it was T8 or T10 for the pivot.

My advice for reassembling is to put the pivot in first so the whole thing doesn't fall apart when you're trying to put it together. And for aesthetics, I put the D-bolts in backwards, Spyderco-style. It's a little harder because there is no flat part for the D-Bolt on the face-side scale. If you try it, you'll know what I mean when you see it...
