I've had my SR-1A for about a month now -- 3 weeks of which it has been sitting disassembled. I took it apart as it developed a gritty action and I planned on applying CRK grease. I couldn't get it back together (can't get second washer in) and I flattened part of the blade on my granite countertop while fighting with it. I can't get a response from LionSteel at all and I really miss the knife. Would anyone be willing to reassemble it for me and/or touch up the convex edge (I'm not implying for free..)?

Thank
 
While we are on the subject, how do you get these knives back together if you disassemble to clean? Is there a set of tips to help the process?

Apparently there is but I just held the two washers in place on the blade and slid the whole thing back into the frame and adjusted from there.

However, I did replace the teflon washers with .020 phosphor bronze ones which made it slide back in a little easier.

Thank you for the recommendation.
 
Monoblocks seem inherently more difficult to put back together since you're not dealing with a sandwich. CRK grease holds the washer in place well for me.
