Hi Guys

I need help with the liner lock on my Kershaw blur, it is very rapidly working it's way over to the opposite scale. :grumpy:

Are there any tweaks I can do to give this lock a new lease on life?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this will work or not, but soldering a very thin layer of soldering iron onto the stop pin(for stopping the blade when opened) will have the liner/frame lock go a bit less over to the other side. I have no idea if the soldering iron will hold up or not, I've tried adding a bit of loctite to the stop pin and the frame lock when locked was a bit more to the left side...............for a day lol.

I'm not sure if the bond properly, the stop pin is coated. I might give it a try though.

Anymore ideas guys?

Thanks

That will work....for awhile LOL.

I read something on this forum a LONG while back about using a punch near the end of the liner close to the face that engages the tang. This will cause a slight bulge that will make the liner engage earlier. Has anybody heard about this or tried this?

Thanks
 
The best thing to do is Send it back.
 
All locks will at some time need some work and kershaw will fix it no problem, thats why they have a warranty.

The problem I have with that is my location. I'm in South Africa and Kershaw is not ;). Does anybody on this forum who is from SA know who I can contact locally?

Thanks guys.
 
Its really not worth worrying about until and unless the blade develops vertical up and down play. Look at it from the stand point of reliability. Its more securely locked up with a 'deep' contact than a new lock sitting right on the edge and being that its hardened steel it should be a good while before any play develops. Just use it and enjoy it. There are tweaks than can be done to adjust a lock to refresh it but I don't know any makers there but one and I'm not sure he knows any of the tricks to do the adjustments or if he wants to start messing with knives other than his own. Most don't.
