Yeah, I know where you're at about having hard time setting the SERE aside--just too much old school goodness there.Looking good Chazzy ! One thing though I must say is you didn’t warn me that once you get one in your hand and pocket it’s almost impossible to stop carrying it
Hey was wondering is that pivot a t-10 ?
Anyway what a knife man really enjoying this one and Thank you for all your wonderful posts of yours That inspired me to pick one up And stop procrastinating before it was to late![]()

The fasteners are a little bit challenging, starting with the pivot which takes a 2.5 mm hex bit (my Wiha curiously marked SW 2.5, not with the more standard M). Once I'd identified that, suspecting it was metric due to its Japanese manufacture, I had to order a set of micro-bits for the microscopic scale screws as I had nothing below 1.5 mm. I definitely needed a magnifying glass to even confirm the socket shape. Those little babies are 1.3's, the 5-piece, short-handled set I ordered coming 2 down to 0.7 mm. The tiny Phillips clip screws got my Wiha Precision slotted/Phillips set out and, while I originally used a PH0, I find its more common PH1 a more positive fit, though I suspect that one, more closely machined and less worn, would be better than those that have been been banging around in my toolboxes and bags.
Well, as long as I got it out to check I might as well carry it today.
