Take apart boy scout knife

[biven75]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to take apart the Camillus Boy Scout Knife?

Grind the heads off or drill the centers out of the pins and press/tap them out. If drilling, it doesn't need to be deep, maybe 3/32" or so, you need to find the pivot pins as well, they are the same material as the bolsters so they can be very difficult to find.

New pins will be needed for reassembly.

Do you have any pictures of the knife right now? You might not need to take it apart.

Yes, we need pictures of the knife in it's present condition.
