I'm Curious about something...

I have done this many times on the railing of a porch using a single Allen key. A hot rock would work just as well. If you’re not going to be switching parts, you can Loctite everything together.

I guess what I'm getting at, I usually don't pack Allen keys in my camping equipment in case my knife gets out of adjustment while I'm cutting down a tree with it for firewood. :D:D

Also duct tape is more gooder, don't you think? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
I’m thinking instead of taking tools to R&R or adjust a knife I’m going to take an extra knife or two for back up in case something happened to the first one. Kant have to many knives or guns I always say. Lol

I’d rather spend my time out doing what I went to do instead of fixing a knife. I can fix my knife when I get home where I don’t lose parts.

I know having a knife or any tool that you can take apart and repair, change or adjust something is nice and I have done it with my Vantage Pros but really I haven’t had the need for it on my Buck 110, 112 or any of my pinned pivot knives. I guess maybe I use them differently. Like I said earlier I don’t want to see the price go up because of screw together construction on the models such as the 110 or any of the pinned lockbacks.
 
View attachment 1095261 The beauty of the modular knives is the ability to carry spare blades to replace dull or broken blades with very little weight premium. Also multiple blade shapes can be carried to do different jobs. If you were doing the Appalachian Trail, 1 handle with 3 premium blades would do the whole trip. I can change a blade faster than sharpening one.
As far as increased cost is concerned, 1 modular knife with several blades would probably be cheaper than several knives of simpler construction.
In the end, I like the ability to customize knives for my uses utilizing factory parts. I am not well set up to make knives from scratch. Fabricating Titanium handles and high alloy steel blades is tough to do in the basement. Having a pile of various blades and handles allows mixing and matching to try interesting combinations.

“Cutting down a tree” I take it you’re not one of those low impact campers that takes only pictures and leaves only footprints. Allen keys don’t take up a lot of space.

I usually have to break out a chain saw to get back where I want to camp. The main problem is that it's small enough to lose, which I'd lose before I even got started. I was exaggerating about the tree, that was for the people that use their knives as hatchets....
 
The clam shell coin purses are available in orange. It holds a sawed off Craftsman ignition wrench which drives the 1/4” hex tools.
The puckerbrush around here does not require a chain saw. I hope your favorite camp site is not in a quiet area.

It gets quiet after I arrive, cut a couple of trees for firewood, get settled down...:D:D:D:D
 
I suppose that like most pyromaniacs you sit around the campfire eating beans. So much for the quiet.
 
I head to the tree line when I head out camping. I enjoy the quiet. My camp is quiet. Not barbarians in the hills.

Nope, usually the deer I kill when I'm cutting the tree up... They're kinda nosey and want to see what's going on...Big fire keeps big critters away, small fire keeps small critters away....:D:D:D:cool:
 
You'd understand if you camped in Bigfoots house....:eek::eek::eek::D

Actually, it's probably more of the Irish in me....:D

The deer do come out and watch when a chainsaw is going though...
 
i dunno, but it seem to me that it would be somewhat easier to deal with pivot issues
if it was "screwed" rather than something in the traditional pinned pivot.
However I m taking into account that not everyone would be
so mechanically inclined as to be able to fix or replace anything on their own
without prior instructions from sufficiently attuned folks who have had lots of hands-on practice.
And for those who have, I am certain not all DIY jobs
turn out to have exact perfect factory tuning on the first adjustment :-)
just my 2 cent.
