For the price you pay for a Bugout... You think they sort out the spring.... I mean, I have knifes that are like 20 times cheaper than the assisted springs have not worn out on. Sometimes paying premium price does not equate to premium quality.

plz next time try to show the actual knife ur working on dude.. u have the whole damn table and only use like 1/3 of the screen.. barely see what your working on

Cool video I just put everything together except the blade, bearings and center pin then tie the axis lock back with upholstery thread and work the knife blade and beaing into place with super thin shims and thread. Once lined up push the center shaft through and done. I'm gonna try your method but I've yet to loose a spring . Thanks.

Question how do I disassemble a Benchmade Arcane. I can’t figure out how to take out the locks

By far the easiest way to assemble a axis lock knife. I wish had watched your video 4 knifes ago. Just got my tagged out and swapped scales to AWT. Thanks

👋 👋 hello!!!! #DSKFS #BEUP

Why you stopped making videos ? There are great

He said 'Boo Boo"!

I'm 2 years late to the party. Was wondering, do you know off hand what blade will replace the combo blade from any other Leatherman tool? I want a signal but I want a straight blade or all serrated blade. And replace the saw with scissors. Great video

I will have to check that one out. I have yet to buy anything from yellow Birch outfitters. Thank you for sharing. Great video.

What I do to get the old Loktite out of the Pivot Screw is drop both sides in some alcohol and let it set for 5 or so min and use a toothpick to clean the male side and use a cotton swab to clean the female. It does a nice job of cleaning them, then you can add the new.

Thank man! Helped me put my aluminum back together when I got a little stuck on the process.

Very cool tools sir

There is no detend ball in any axis lock whatsoever. The mark you see on the blade near the pivot is very likely to be the result of the HRC testing made at the factory (which is usually made on a part of the knife that is hidden to the end user).

Maxpedition is not garbage quality. Vanquest may or may not be better, but to say Maxpedition is "garbage" really makes you sound like you have no idea what you're talking about.

That's a fantastic way to store zip ties!

did you ever sell your Skeletool CX? would love to buy it off you

Just tried to buy this on amazon and it was $120

so i got the m4 version and it felt really gritty right out of the box and had a lot of lock stick so to took it apart and noticed a lot that could be better. the liners/housing for the axis lock has a rough surface so the edges of all of the holes are sharp to the touch and the rough surface adds to this almost like serrations so i polished the flat surfaces with a strop and inside the where the axis lock rides i had the perfect aluminum oxide 5000 grit sharper for sharpening blade serrations whic fit perfectly so i smoothed that out. i think with how rough that whole area is what causes these springs to wear out. but that wasn’t the worst of it. the hole for the pivot was so sharp and jagged that it was destroying my washers and the surface of the blade tang behind the washers had super aggressive machining lines but beyond that it was also very pitted. the surface that the other side of the washer rests against was also rough and the entire surface of the tang that the lock rides against was pitted and rough and the lock bar itself was rough. also the pivot itself is “D” shaped and the shoulders of the flat part of the “D” shape was rough because of machining lines. i polished all of that out and now it’s much smoother and zero lock stick…. i have two budget chinese axis style knives each cost exactly $50 and neither have any of those issues but my american made $200 benchmade had zero quality control.

This is the main issue with your gear. I never needed a multitool... since I started edc one, I'm using it almost daily basis.

I just send it in for warranty.

Good job. appreciated.

Thanks for catching that thing, you saved me a huge head ache

YOU SHOULD PUT A TSHANK ON YOUR SIGNAL WAVE COMBO INSTEAD OF THE SAW DUDE!

Super video!

Have you got a EDC firearm yet? If you’re still in California you definitely need one

Best video of hands & a blank table.

Not sure why within the last 11 months when I look up leatherman mods this hasn't came up? But I appreciate the info you have provided and I'm about to start tinkering (fuck around, really) like you have. Thanks man, subbing.

I like what you did with wave signal combo. Black oxide + OG comes pretty nice. I don’t have black oxide wave though but I do have 2 surge 1 standard and 1 is black oxide. Thanks got the idea and will be learning how to swap the tools. Black and Silver does look better than plain ones.

How much would you sell the half signal with the bit holder an blade

beautiful modding - thank you

It’s a money pit !!!! Lol but a damn fun one

Thank you!!! 🔥

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video and the mods that you did. I have a few myself as I was trying to find the best tool for my EDC. If anything, your video is encouraging me to sell most of them. I am going to stick to the Wave + for tougher tasks, and then have a Skeletool CX and older Juice S2 for pocket carry. I’ve been debating on getting the “Stammer” from Shapeways for my Skeletool but it’s going to be $80 Canadian. Just not sure if it’s worth it. It’s great because it doesn’t affect the warranty but I don’t know how often I would use the hammer feature. If you have any advice, I would appreciate it.

I ordered the Sofrin you show there in orange off Amazon. It come without any batteries but as you can read it says 2-3 times included batteries. Sent the damn thing back. Might check this one since I own couple of these brands.

Any chance you can do a tutorial on how to get an awl one a wave?

Why is there a community for carrying everyday items? I don't understand

Wow awesome

I got this one too :). Also $10. Really well made for the price. Seems to work as well as it should, just needs a little refinement, but i dont see that to be a deal breaker at all.

Are the wk1 and wk2 drivers (4000k/6500k) interchangeable?

Thank you for this easy to follow guide!! Much appreciated

Is it waterproof?

Great video, question please do you believe the slim is small enough to carry daily in your pocket?

I wanna buy that first modded signal/ wave

Where did you source the wood saw on the Bond from?

Why are sunglasses never mentioned as EDC?

Overpriced junk.

Great video! I enjoyed it very much! You have a very nice collection!

Maaaaannnnnn that signal/wave+ hybrid tool looks so rad. I might actually try that out with my own tools
