Well none that would out shine some of the one's up already. But i took my new knife apart because the blade lock was not working properly. I have all the torx bits to open it so i did. Those pics would have been cool.
Anyway, i open it up and see the famous torsion bar i heard so much about after removing the blade pivot screw and two handle scale screws. Inside the scale has a cutout for the bar thats coated heavily with grease. Next you pull off the liner to reveal the meat and potato's of the knife. Here you find a spacer pin that also acts as a guide for the blade. The blade if sandwiched between to brass washers, the one on the clip side is larger in diameter. The lock was what i really was concerned about and realized a small ball bearing was used. As you could quess that ball bearing fell out of the knife and had me on my hands and knee's cursing as i look for it. Found it (thank Christ!) and then took a closer look. The blade has a detent for the ball. When you slide the lever forward it engages the ball like a socket wrench and vice versa. Problem with the design (not a biggie IMO) is that it relies on the screw studs tension to prevent the blade from opening, so you gotta turn the torx screw just a bit to tighten it. The knife itself can push that lever to the unlocked position with not to much force if the stud is slightly loose. I clean all the parts which really needed it because there was some milling material still left from the factory. After i cleaned all the old lube i wiped down everything and relubed with Superlube PTFE synthetic lube. Re-lubed the torsion bar put the scales back and adjusted the blade untill the play was just removed and now its like greased lightning. Very easy knife to maintain and work with.
