Switching blades on CRK's?

[JohnLT13]

No, we are not splitting atoms, but do you really know what all is involved?

The fact that a lock feels as smooth as butter is not necessarily an indication that it fits properly.

Confidence can be that feeling you get before you fully understand the problem

Again, they are your knives. You can do as you wish. I just think that a lot of people do not really understand what to look for in assessing lock fit, and it seems a little reckless to recommend that people with unknown skills attempt to reproduce the fit that one of the best and most meticulous makers can accomplish (and other makers of high end knives have demonstrated, through their failures, is not THAT easy).

Wait a min there bud, I did notRECOMMEND it to anyone. I gave an example of my personal experience doing it. That is all.
The fact these knives are built to extremely tight tolerances help greatly IMO. OP asked a question and I answered it to the best of my ability.

Yeah, actually you said, "it can't hurt to try". To me this implys that there is nothing to worry about, and in my opinion really seems to trivialize potentially damaging upwards of a grand worth of precision fitted knives.

As I said, it's your knife, and they are your fingers. I really do not care to debate or get you worked up about this.

Have a nice day, and take it easy on your tone. No one here is trying to fight, I'm just urging caution in effort to help people keep their nice things nice.

I do not see this thread progressing any further...not really sure why people are responding to each other the way they are. Closing this thread down. Thank you everyone for your input.
