No, you can't take the knife apart.

I regulary wash mine with dishwashing liquid and water to keep it clean. There is no need to lubricate it either.

x2: the teflon washers require no lubricating.

The Fallkniven P folder can be disassembled as can the PXL.

FH9 no, TK3 no.

Not sure about the U1 I don't own one, but it looks like disassembly may be possible.

I think I went as far as removing the blade and pivot assembly on my U2. It's not really necessary to disassemble it to keep it clean. I only took it apart out of curiosity.

I have one of these but I have not taken it apart. In doing a little research in the Fallkniven sub-forum of one of the 'other' forums I did see a few pics of one disassembled and re-assembled so, yes, it is possible. Didn't seem like too much trouble if remember correctly.

Took a closer look at mine after I got home. The pivot does have a torx screw on the one side, so the blade is removable.

The lock is held in place with a pin, can't say whether or not you could remove the pin without damaging something.

The handle is one piece.

It's got a torx screw and you can take it apart. I have one myself. Nice little knife that is sharper than almost everything I have. TK4 might be my next knife because I like the U2 a lot.

I got a U2, I didnt know it would be taken place, I saw the tork screw but the handle looks pinned. Great knife, my EDC for a while.

I haven't taken my U2 apart to keep it clean (no such need so far).

It's a great knife, and I blame Dag-nabit for provoking my interest in Fallkniven knives.

I'm pleased to see that there have been a number of posts on Fallkniven lately, and to others who haven't had a Fallkniven yet, I urge you to try one out! :thumbup:
