so i took apart my 0560 and cleaned it out the pivot was full of crap!! anyway after i put it together i thought it was fine perfect centering solid lockup flips great and the detent is fine!!
but when the knife is closed i can push the blade down and it makes a clicking noise have no idea why its doing this.

was wandering if anybody knows why this might be happening?
 
The stop pin, that pin at the back that it stops on when closing, might be loose and not seated all the way. Take it apart and reassemble it again and make sure the stop pin gets fully seated.
 
oh my its not even there!! gotta start looking for it!! ha ha can't belive I didn't even realize that!
Thanks!!!!

I just to make sure to do them on top of a soft surface so little parts dont move all over the place or when they fall they usually don't bounce. I use a white towel usually, that way the little parts stay put and you won't forget them.

Wrong forum for that kind of talk. ZT and Kershaw have no issue with you disassembling your own knife. Personally, I would never buy from any company that has a "no-disassembly" policy. How else are you supposed to clean the thing? :rolleyes:
 
I'm not saying that you shouldn't disassemble your knife if you need to clean it. Just that the large number of people who take their knife apart without knowing what they're doing is the reason why many manufactures don't like it.

Agreed... I guess that is why my father spent my entire childhood telling me "don't take anything apart that you aren't sure you can put back together". Seems some people missed out on that life lesson. :p
 
I almost always disasseble things on a few sheets of white paper with a pen and some tape. I sketch as I pull things apart and then tape them in place on my diagram. If need be I also number the order in which things should go. I'll add diagrams as I go through layers or subassemblies (outer case, battery removed, screen subassembly,etc). When I'm doing stuff like that at home I spread out a white bed sheet. If I drop any parts they are easy to see and its easy to pick up and dump everything to the center to check if I dropped something without knowing.

The tape and a single piece of paper works good for taping down handle screws and the backspacers like in the Blur that like to roll away and disappear on you. Not everything is complicated enough to need a diagram. It is easy to just roll or fold the paper and stuff it in a zip-lok bag with my Torx drivers and finish up the FrankenBlurring later without worrying where anything went.
 
i was using a microfiber towel when i was dissembling. i am usually very careful when dissembling my knives first time i ever dropped a stop pin and forgot about it. i wasn't even thinking about it cause i thought for some reason that the thumb studs were used as the only stop pin..... anyway i looked on the ground in the shop and it was right there on the floor!! good thing i didn't have to bother customer service for another one!! lesson learned!!


and ya i agree with solid orange comment about not buying a knife from a company that has a no disassemble policy. i use my knifes and they get dirty i dont wanna send it in every month or so to get cleaned that would be such a hassle!!
