Disassembly of the ZT0470 Question

I have most of my knives apart for cleaning etc. The ZT 0470 has me wondering how the knife is assembled below the pocket clip. Removing the clip and the short screw opposite the clip side doesn't seem to be the answer as these screws are the same length and not long enough to be holding it together. Only about 3/16" in thread length. Removing the pivot area is no problem, but separating both sides from the blade have me a bit confused. One of the holes has a insert for the clip screws. Is it something to do regarding this insert? I didn't want to apply allot of pressure in this area so as not to create a problem or needing repair. There is nothing I could find on the web including You Tube for this model. Found a Russian site for disassembly of this model, but is was taken down.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Remove all the hardware. Remove the inlay. Open the knife all the way and slightly rotate the blade, should pop the knife apart.
 
I had the blade out, along with the bearings and all the hardware. Didn’t remove the carbon fiber inlay. At that point I felt the knife should come apart. The back of the handle area was tight. So I didn’t know what was holding the back together. Still don’t. The inlay in my mind should have nothing to do with it. I will give removing the inlay a try. Thanks for your response.

I guess anyone who has this knife and seen this thread hasn't taken the knife apart to be able to tell me what hold's the back of the knife in place. No stand off's on this knife and the screws that hold the clip in place seem to short to thread into the spacer between the frame. Only 3/16" long. Thanks to all who have checked this thread.
