I think the old coating was TDLC (Tungsten Diamond Like Carbon) which has an HRC of 72. It is Tungsten Carbide applied by Physical Vapor Deposition process in a vacuum chamber. It is much harder than organic coatings.
 
View attachment 1380904 View attachment 1380905 View attachment 1380906 View attachment 1380907 View attachment 1380908 View attachment 1380909 There was a minor flap this week over the quick sell out of the BOTM knife, a take apart Aluminum 112. Many question were asked about the construction of this knife and also about the take apart 186.
The new 112 is probably similar to the 110 Aluminum Club Knife. The Aluminum knife is held together at the rocker pivot by a rivet. This rivet replaces the bushing and screw or pin normally located here. It is hidden by the scales.
The front of the knife is held together by a T-nut and a screw. The T-nut is actually the pivot post for the blade. Since there is no bushing, the pivot set can squeeze the blade. So a little blue Loctite is required to hold the pivot adjustment. The head of the T-nut is octagonal and sits in an octagonal recess. This immobilizes the T-nut when adjusting the pivot.
The rear of the knife is held together by two T-nuts which are slabbed (D in cross section) to prevent them from turning. The spring holder has D shaped holes to immobilize the T-nuts.

The 186 has 4 tapped (#5X40TPI) holes in the right handle. Various length #5X40TPI cap screws are used to hold the knife together depending on the use of the disassembly tool and/or the belt clip.
The blade and the rocker have identical bushings which are squeezed between the handles when the screws are tightened (no adjustment). The spring holder is likewise clamped between the handle slabs when the screws are tightened.View attachment 1380910

Great show and great pics this Sunday, Thank you to everyone for helping to keep Armands show going each and every week.

These pics could also go on David Martins "Farm Life" thread. Been busy this weekend. Sold 4 cords of wood, just over 500 bales of hay, and picked some vegies out of the garden.
The vultures have been busy circling the fields looking for any dead mice, snakes, etc that were victims of the haying.
Fixed a couple cars as well.

A few vultures on the ground just right of the big oak tree. The oak tree on the far left is huge and has been estimated to be 240 years old. 6' across at the base.

A better pic of the our 240 year old oak tree.

Great info, thanks for posting it. I think you should do a separate thread combining all the posts/info that you've done on the tools and parts needed to convert a regular 110 to a take-apart and the factory versions....you are a wealth of knowledge:thumbsup:
 
Just got back from vacation to Sequoia, Yosemite, Ft. Bragg, Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Beautiful country out there. Picked up a couple Bucks while there at the end. Saw some other bucks and bulls I woulda really liked to got.20200710_105658.jpg 20200717_092729.jpg

Thanks for that. I am all over modularity. My tastes are changing as are the properties, availability, and specifications of the parts needed to build custom knives in the basement. I like the basic size and shape of the 110. I am looking for higher end steels, lighter components, more resistance to corrosion and wear, more adjustments and/or serviceability, and convenience factors such as pocket clips and thumb studs which hasten deployment (one handed for sure). If you like oosic and giraffe bone, you can put it in knives which have other desired features. That’s the benefit modular knives. These Aluminum models are opening the door to endless possibilities. If we can now open the floodgates of premium parts, everyone will become an armchair customizer.
I can show you how to put a screw set in the pivot of a brass and wood 110, but I would not recommend the result. I am content to ride the Al train for awhile. Would like to see some new Ti and Carbon fiber models. Will answer questions. Have a few pictures.

I have skied at Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee. The scenery is so great that it’s hard to concentrate on the terrain.
