The ZT 350 did quite well in my recent test session and I want to give 'er a go a work but don't like the assisted opening.
Anything I should know before I have a go at removing the torsion bar? It is a torsion bar, correct?
 
yes it is a torsion bar.

the only thing you have to do is add a detent hole in the blade if there's not one already there. some of them had it from the factory, some didn't.

i've done it on quite a few ZT's, i'm not a big fan of the assisted opener, and quite a few people that do like the speedsafe feature just wanted to add the detent hole to help the blade stay closed even better!

hope that helps! :thumbup:
 
if you attempt to drill the detent hole put it right at the end of the arc that's marked on the blade by the detent itself. just make sure you get a good carbide tipped bit to cut the hardened steel!
