You only need it to be hot enough to liquify the loc-tite. I just use a hair dryer on the hot setting and it works fine with no real risk of damaging anything.do ZT's tend to have alot of Loctite from the factory? I was going to disassemble mine for the first time to clean and lubricate, try to fix a small centering issue, and they seem to be really tight. Before I go further and risk damaging hardware, I wanted to check first. Should I heat the screws with a soldering iron? I have a clean, brass tip for setting threaded inserts into polymers, would be perfect for localized heating of hardware. This is on both my 0392 and my 0562
How do you like the 0117? Does it use omega springs for the crossbar?Little bit of recent rando KAI CF goodness

Same I usually like something with more weight, but if you are looking for a flyweight easy to carry knife, for me this looks like a homerun. Not sure if it's something I'll buy, but I may stop by the local shop and see what it's all about. It certainly looks bad ass. However I cant help but be reminded of all the awesome shit ZT used to make. Bring it ALL back!I like it - typical ZT precision, perfect manufacturing, quality and materials. Yes on the omegas.
It is definitely a petite knife. Very light n slim. I generally prefer a little more beef in the pocket, most days.
Always love some Les George goodness!
