Just recorded this. That's teflon tape I put on the pivot screw instead of loctite

I skipped ahead to the last part where you are tightening the pivot.
It took you one adjustment to get it right.

Don't you realize that adjusting any pivot, other than the Sebenzas, is rocket science, and can't be accomplished this easily? Shame on you!
You made it look as if any monkey could do it.

Just because the zann has a stronger overall pivot design, that costs less to manufacture, and therefore allows CRK to extend manufacturing costs towards other superior parts of the design, doesn't make it a better idea than the 23 year old seb with it's "wonder bushing".

Excuse me now, I must go have my pet monkey assemble my sebenza, I just re-lubed it. That monkey always gets the pivot adjustment right on that knife. It's amazing. He can't do it on any of my other knives, so I have to.
 
Great vid mongo....it's that simple...even with the clumbsy factory tools....you should see how nice and easy it is with Bill Hydes tools.

good show man. :) :thumbup:

Haha, welp, this was my second time doing it and I'm pretty clumsy. I found out that all I need to do is tighten it all the way down and then just back it off a hair. I did test it out more the first time to find out though.
 
:)Great job on the vid Mongo.Yes boys and girls it really is that "easy".

The tethlon tape might be a great idea for everyone "worried" about the

Correct amount of drying time for the loctite.

Great Job!!!!
 
Actually, I believe a half hour is the recomended drying time for blue loctite. It's never been an issue for me.

Tef-tape is another good idea however.

Vibra-Tite is the best though. Dries fast, and you can re-fasten several times without losing the locking properties. It is a huge improvement over Loctite. Too bad it is so darn hard to buy in small quantities, and impossible to buy locally.
 
To reach 100% cure strength, at "normal" room temps, steel on steel, very small gap, the manufacturer quotes 6 hours. The figures in their TDS are subject to a lot of variables but that is pretty much best case, unless you elevate temps to about 40 degree Celcius.

If a normal tool could be used, it would be no sweat (slotted screwdriver, like Emerson, or Torx like Benchmade and most Spyderco, or hex like some other Spydercos), but if the pivot on the 'zaan comes loose, you either need the CRK tool or a couple of pairs of snapring pliers.

This is making more out of the subject than it probably deserves, though. I've never used Vibra-Tite - sounds interesting. (I have used nail polish on non-critical fastners, and have had good luck with that - another idea in a pinch, though it has a bunch of limitations.)

So...I finally got around to googling up Vibra-Tite. I don't know what rock I've been hiding under, but I was unaware of this product. The TDS is here. This looks like a truly outstanding product for applications like this, and lots of others. I am going to buy some of this and see how it works in real life, but it looks extremely promising.
