Order of KAI Official Hang Out; Part Deux - It's Enrico Palazzo!

Second question......How the hell do I get the lens out and replace it?

The bezel unscrews, but there's a bit of a trick to it. What I do is take a shoe (a new shoe, one I haven't worn) and press the bezel up against the rubber sole. Putting pressure, I twist to unscrew, and after a bit I'll feel the grit of the threads upscrewing. After a turn or so it's loose enough to do by hand. The tricky part is the red rubber gasket around the lens. It's not actually an oring, it's a thin gasket that sits around the lens, as it's square with a channel in it. It can tear pretty easily so it's a bit of a pain to get out. Some are easier than others I've found.

What sometimes works is to insert a battery and lightly push to move it out a bit, then take some fine tweezers to pull lightly around the gasket until it inches out. I've also just grabbed it with my fingernail and pulled it out. Then I took a new 3M microfiber and cleaned the lens.

If you're going to replace the lens, be careful and get one of those rocket blowers for camera lenses. If dust gets in the reflector, the worst thing you can do is blow at it with your mouth. You'll certainly blow spit on it, and then you can just kiss that reflector goodbye. I've tried cleaning a reflector before with a lens cloth, and a lens pen. I could never get it clean again. So, when I was futzing with lens swapping on the S10, I used the lens blower. I tried canned air also, and it seemed to work. I ended up just putting the light face down after I took the thing off, and blew it out before I popped the lens back in.

It sounds worse than it really is...but it isn't something you want to just do on a random desk while you're doing other things. I say clean your working area thoroughly, and gather the proper tools and cleaning items. Proceed carefully and don't force anything. Also, get new microfibers. No used or washed ones. New from a package. Trust me.

Well... im a little upset. I've been talking to a guy on Instagram who works at knifecenter, and apparently they arent going to be getting 0600's in until FEBRUARY!!!! So im just going to have to find one to buy in the meantime. that sucks.. i shouldnt have passed on dave's when he had them. Silly me :/

 

[VENI VIDI VICI]

well, zt is my new legit favorite brand (legit as in company in which i actually own a knife)
dead center, lock up is.... wow, just wow, its used so the wear is visable, not an issue, the edge is less than my leek, but its shaving sharp, wich is good enough with the steel, and i decided im not going to have it sharpened, ill save for a sharp maker and do it myself, for both A: i need to learn how to do it, and B: i dont want to not have possesion of it for more than an hour

OK that was my first photo ever posted, ive been tryin for so long it feels good to get it done lol

Nice!

Holy crap, my brother is a complete and utter moron.

Ok here's what happened. He was mowing the lawn, and I was pulling weeds. He needs to mow an area where I've thrown all my weeds. He tells me to move them to the side so he can mow. I start moving the weeds to the side, and in an attempt to make me move faster he inches the lawn mower towards me. He continues to do this, and eventually an inch of my foot is under the running lawnmower I then kick the lawnmower back, and cuss him out in the front yard. (conveniently no children were outside)
Who the hell does that?? I mean really. It's pretty common sense.

*draws cross on chest* thank god I don't have any brothers/sisters...

Mark I am having trouble coming up with my favorite song for your gaw. I like so many different genres and bands to am having trouble even narrowing it down! I'm just going to pick something different and go in for someone who needs or wants it badly.

I didn't pick a favorite song (I don't really have one) so I just picked one I really like.

Eh.. im kinda over the Tanic. Only being that they are $800 just to get the very basic model. If i'm going to be dropping $800 bucks on anything its going to be a Blount Predator... that thing is one on my to-get list.



I see what you did thuuuuur

I understand. For $800 I'll pass haha.

Glad someone picked that up.

I'm missing it...

my 0200 is here!!!!!! in my hands!!!!!!! ill put up pics later, im still stunned!!!!

steb, long range bro hug! thanks for tipping me off

I've been thrown to the curb...

.

Awesome!

ok, i think the 0200 was my best buy ever, i seriously just looked at now and thought too my self; i could seriously never buy a knife again and be perfectly happy with the 0200, im still going to buy knives of course, but for the time being, i thiink i own my latest knife tastes

I'm glad you like it haha!!!!

 

[Steel130]

Man, did you see all the whiners for A.G. Russels knife that supports the Veterans? Really ticks me off. Apparently they need some Mydol.

$800?!? Are you serious?!?

I'm sorry, but $800 for a toughthumbs custom is beyond my comprehension...

Yeeeeeeap. I cant even imagine what the one with the full timascus scale cost :foot:

For that model, you give him your spouse, your house, and he kicks you in the nuts. Then when you recuperate, you cut him a check for $1500 and fork over brokerage shares you may have.

Nah, toughtoes can keep his tanic. I'd rather spend the money on this:

I'm sorry, but that sounds like something I'd do to my brothers.

And, I wouldn't call that common answer IMO. That would be something that you just don't do. Common sense would be something like a first time driver knowing that if he stops first at a 4-way stop, that he should be the one to go first.

Glad someone picked that up.

I did. CRKT Shenanigan. Ken Onion designed.

Batoning?


Driving is fun!
