Part 2: A good close look at the lovely machining and design of the tiny parts that comprise the knife and multiple takes of me struggling to put it back together...but at last I succeed. A few notes: the tiny hole in the blade is not for the spring obviously, but is a detent that receives the tiny ball pressed into the liner lock. Such a neat design...the ball minimizes friction as the knife swings open, and snaps into the tiny hole to keep the blade closed. The dual action slip/cam allows the knife to be opened without activating the spring mechanism. A slight bevel in the heel of the knife wedges against the liner lock to secure the blade in a very positive manner...unlike some cheap liner lock designs that would fail and allow the blade to fold back against your hand...ouch. Not sure about you guys but I really enjoyed seeing all the parts and recognize the thought and time that must have gone into the design of this knife. Every screw appears to be made of the same 154-CM alloy as the blade as do most of the internal parts. There is nothing "garden-variety" about the hardware.
