Umnumzaan Loctite Thread - Where is it?

[Vaporstang]

I know there is a detailed older thread about what Loctite to use on the Umnumzaan pivot screw. I know it is the Loctite 222 (Purple). I thought I had it booked-marked but can't find it. Does anyone have that link? Or am I totally senile? Thanks!

I'd be curious to see it also. Good luck

Excellent! That's what I was looking for. I will book-mark it for sure this time. Thanks duginsky!

"When we assemble Umnumzaans we do use Loctite. It is 222MS, low strength that creates enough bond to prevent the pivot from coming undone but one that can be broken quite easily when you wish to disassemble the knife. Do not use medium or high strength Loctite – it will cause trouble later!

Only a tiny droplet of Loctite is needed on the threads of the male screw..."

For both pivot styles?

 

[Vaporstang]

I would think so. The Loctite 222 package said for adjusting screw up to 1/4". I didn't see their CRK branded threadlocker on their new website to see if there were two versions.

Thanks. Have one also. Now can disassemble with confidence.
