Got my haul from Dave today!

[RJ80]

I thought it was supposed to be mine!

I'll be okay though, I got a present in the mail from Dave yesterday. A 0560 and an echelon. The echelon has already turned blue, maybe I'll post a pic of it in the modded knife thread when I get a chance.

Unfortunately the blem on the 0560 seems to be stripped out clip screw holes on the non-lock side. It shouldn't be a problem though, I'll just see if I can get some threaded inserts in there, unless anyone else has a better idea.

So you're the one that got the last 0200kw! That was supposed to be mine!!

Got mine today too, totally stoked, random leek is sweet. Thanks to Dave

I got two 0561s from Dave in the mail yesterday, a blem for me and a new one that is a Christmas gift for a buddy. The funny thing is that I can't find the blemish on mine, and I actually like the detent on mine better. The new one also shows machining marks on the blade through the stonewash, which I thought was odd.

RJ80,
I'm guessing you're a south paw? Maybe try and find the next size up screws? Though miniature machine screws can be a bit tough to find.

When I got my order in there was an extra knife (a 3160) in there that I hadn't ordered. When I asked Dave about it he replied "Twas a Gift" The funny thing is that I saw the same knife at Walmart earlier in the day & almost bought it.

I've got a small problem now. On of the ones I ordered was intended to be a gift, but I'm definitely liking it too much now. So, now I need to order another. While I'm at it, I guess I could go ahead & get a few more...

wobly, what fixed blades are those?

RJ80, is it the screws that are stripped?

 

[RJ80]

Yes, I've been blessed with left-handedness. This is the second 056X I've had with this issue with. I think the screws are just a bit too short on some of them, probably a tolerance stack-up issue. They just barely catch and then strip out. KAI fixed my 0561 for me but the 0560 is a blem so I'm on my own. The screws look fine, so I think I just stripped the first thread out of the liner. I'll try some longer screws first, if I can find some. If that doesn't work I'll either put some inserts in or weld up the liner and re-drill and tap it. I've moved the clip on quite a few knives before and never had a problem before these two. Has anyone else had this problem? Sorry for the thread hijack.

 

[AdioSS]

I wonder if they use the same size screws as the 300s?

Pretty sure my email got there at least 1 second before yours.

They are the 1080 Skinner and 1082 Hunting knife. Considering the blems are cheaper than a cheap hunting knife that I might lose, I consider them a bargain!

Your wife ENCOURAGES THIS?!?!?
She's definitely a keeper :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yep, she is a keeper! Also, for Christmas, she got a S&W M&P9c. She tried to burn through a brick of 250 9mm yesterday. :thumbup:

I'm not sure about the 0300's, but they're the same as my 0350.

I got my order in about 10 minutes ago.

In about 5 minutes I'm going to check my mailbox. From past experience, Dave is a very fast shipper!

Dave does awesome stuff like that. :thumbup: He makes you feel appreciated as a customer. I wonder if he knows that it is us who need him and not the other way around?

 

[AdioSS]

I'm not sure about the 0300's, but they're the same as my 0350.

The 300s use a long T6 screw that holds it together. Kershaws & ZTs use lots of T6 screws. The ones for the 300 are a bit longer than the 350. I bet a call to ZT's customer service can have a bunch of those screws out to you.

 

[Soul_hammer]

Ordered mine got them 3 days later couldn't be happier.

 

[RJ80]

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if I can talk them into sending me some 0300 screws. If not they're just a black 2-56 button head, one of the knife making supply places should have them.
