Disassembly pics?

[WValtakis]

Nice to see the 20.5 guts! Hoping to get a shark foot when they drop.

No problem! Had it apart yesterday, because I can't leave anything alone

Took apart the 110 KS. Man that sure was dirty inside for a knife I don't use much!

2011 Spyderco Manix 2 M4. Fixed some lock stick and repaired a broken ball cage until i find a replacement.

Spyopera.

I was surprised to find nested washers within the liners.

All in all it’s a nice little knife. Maybe not mindblowing, but probably fit for the price.

The decorative screws are pretty cool.

A few Civivis that needed some tweaking

The imperium had a little lock rock


The brazen and governor suffered from stiff detents
A quick tweak of the lockbar tension corrected all 3 and made them much more enjoyable

A recently acquired old and abused Kershaw Piston which cleaned up nicely. Should have taken a before photo but after fixing the botched sharpening job and polishing a little Flitz on the blade it should be a nice user.

I was just looking at the Flytanium Jade scales, thinking about buying a set to replace titanium scales on one of my Bugouts.
Was there something you didn't like about the jade G-10?

For the money the Fly G10 are a big upgrade over stock, have decent texture, and add a little welcomed thickness to the handle, nothing wrong with them. i just got a great deal on the RSD scales and thought id try them out. I say go for it!

General question. For bearing races as in the above North Arm is there a right or wrong way to face the open and closed side? Thanks.

Very interesting picture ! Thank you for posting it and thank you for posting so many others ! I particularly enjoy the Microtech pictures, I like to open up my auto Socom one day but have to get better tools than the one I have.
I believe l saw a Wiha set on this picture, in your experience is it a particular set you find useful for disassembling folders or you’d go with just T set of allens? TIA

For folder work the sizes I've needed are Torx bits #3-10 and occasionally standard/metric allen. I like Wiha the best, but Wera is also a great brand.

I dont think it matters much since the bearings turn in the machined pockets of the scales and/or blade depending on the model of folder. Ive seen them Installed from the factory in either orientation.

man... these are like purely beauty. especially those CRKs

Ok good to know, thanks for the reply.

Not a huge addition to this great thread, but this knife is built very ingenious and it takes only two T8 screws to take down in order to disassemble it.
One at the pivot and another one is the bottom screw of the clips.

It's a WE Scoppio in CPM 20V, titanium scale, designed by the German knife maker Toni Tietzel.
