New member and a mod I made to my new knife

[meech145]

Hi everyone,

I just joined the forum after getting bit by the folding knife bug. Me likes

Anyways, I was adjusting my Dendra Typhoon with the tool it comes with and I squared up the adjustment pivot holes (they were round). I noticed that there is really no need for the cheap tool, which looks like a guitar pick. You can adjust the pivot with torx and allen bits.

Rather than pout, I took off the pivot bolts and begin to sand them up to 1500 grit and finished up with a quick polish using turtle was swirl remover and a dremel. I think it came out pretty good. Here are some pics.

I also adjusted the pivot pressure and lubed the teflon washers. It came stiff as hell but now it is very slick.

Thanks for looking in,

Gabe G.

That looks nice. What are you doing this weekend? My Jeep would love you (neglected chrome)! Well that is how it starts I am told, a very minor tweaks on a production knife then it is thousands in custom knife work. Pretty soon you'll be like Charlie Mike and build your own forge!
