Quick 0300 torsion bar question

[bladebertt]

If I take the torsion bar out of my 0300, will the blade stay closed ? Didn't know if it had any kind of detent. Thanks.

you shouldnt have a problem.

i cant see why they wouldnt put a detent in that knife.

hope that helped.

Dont know if this is the case with all of them, but my zt0301 most definitely did not have a hole in the blade for a detent to rest in. But there is a ball on the locking bar for a detent. Some people drill a hole in their blades. I am fairly certain none of the 300's come with a hole in the blade for a detent. My 0350 does though.

^thats very interesting. i cant believe they dont have detents

i dont know what the purpose would be, maybe thomas will chime in.
