Hello, I did a stupid thing tonight, I took my Griptillian 550 apart.. I know i shouldnt have but i have taken the CRKT's apart and put them back to gether. well i thought i could do this with the grip. So i took it apart no problem and cleaned it and bam, it wont go back together. I tryed for 2 hours. So i read the manual and i voided the warranty. well before i contact benchmade i would like to know if theres anything i could do to get it back together? thanks Phil
 
I think you should be able to put it back together. This isn't like one of those Chinese Finger Traps. Are you having trouble with the spring components? Maybe you can superglue the end of it onto the liners to make assembly easier.
 
Go to somewhere quiet with a large mirror. Face the mirror and kneel in front of it, laying all the pieces on a towel in front of you. Now grab the Axis bar in your left hand between your pinky and ring fingers. Now, carefully place the Axis spring between the forefinger and middlefinger of your left hand. Now grab the blade with your both hands and raise your arms high, with the blade facing downward. Look into the mirror and denigrate yourself with comments such as "You fool! Why you do this!" and "Me so stupid!". Then plunge the blade under your left pectoral while emitting a loud "Hiii-yaahhh!" or perhaps "Keee-opp!!". Cut a "Z" formation through your abdomen while trying to remain conscious. If done correctly, you will have baffled local crime scene investigators with your wonderous knife-exploding seppuku. But more importantly, you will have redeemed yourself.

Where are you stuck at.
Have you try to retrace the step you did when you take the grip apart.
 
There is or was a FAQ somewhere about assembly/disassembly of axis locks. Maybe someone will point out it's location.
 
you took apart an axis lock ?? Mister , your a braver man than I.

Look , about three years ago I foolishly took apart my Colt Woodsman, at one point I heard that fateful "ping!!" as a spring zipped off into nowhere land , never to be found again , I still cant get my Woodsman back together and need to take it to a gunsmith.
Lesson learned hehehe
 
If your trouble revolves around not getting the pivot back through the washers/blade, try pulling the axis bar back, then sliding the pivot bushing through the hole.

If that's not your problem (that's the only problem I've ever had), it would help us a great deal to explain what you can and can't do..

This is the thread that shows it step by step.
 
If I recall correctly, the axis bar of the Grips don't have to be dissambled, as there is is an cutout for inserting them through the liners?

This is exactly the problem I had, and the solution that worked to get it back together in the end.
 
I was going to say, if it is something other than that, I don't think you paid enough attention when you were disassembling it :rolleyes:
 
you can send it to me and I can fix it/put it back together.(or I can do a tutoral if you are interested)
 
after a bout 12 hours i got it back together. It was a pain. Im never doing that again. Thanks for all the input.
 
Twelve hours? :rolleyes:

If you ever need to take it apart again, and need our input, be sure to say something. Don't just leave the knife dirty etc. because you are afraid to take it apart. We can help you out. :)
