Thomas I have a question for you. Is this guy going to have a ball detent so I can take the torsion bar out?
I would almost guarantee that it won't. Kershaw Assisted openers have the bal in place so that the lockbar glides smoothly over the blade, but the detent action is performed by the Speedsafe mechanism.
You could have a competent knifemaker grind a detent hole in the blade with a carbide drill bit..... I asked STR about doing this to a ZT0300 once.
