Just thought I’d put this out there….

If you disassemble a stretch 2 xl (or really any lock-back), reassemble the handle and lock bar with spring (put the pin and screw back on the lock bar) before putting the blade back in. Don’t tighten the screws all the way, depress the lock bar while putting the pivot pin back in through the pivot hole in the blade.

If you try to go the other way, pivot pin and blade first, it’s not going to go well for you.

That is all. Thanks!

Thank you!
 
I always do the lockbar last. I get the lockbar screw standing up on a tabletop slightly started into one side, push the lockbar into the handle with my thumb, and when the holes line up gently press down on the tabletop so the screw pops through into place.

Thread 'How to assemble a Spyderco Endura'

I got my teal s30v Endura in today and not really fond of the color of the handles. I picked up some red trainer scales and I'm going to put these on instead. I figured I would do a write up with pictures, on how I easily and successfully disassemble/assemble one. This process works exactly the same for the Delica as well.

I like to keep the knife upside down for this process. Remove all screws from this side of the knife.

You can’t do that with a stretch xl, there’s no liners.
But the principal is the same. You’re just doing it with the scales.
