Another Malibu Disassembly

I disassemble another Protech Knives Malibu. This one is a Blade Show West exclusive one with blue textured aluminum scales. I also put Skiff Bearings in. 5mm 1/16 bearings, but 3/16 1/16 are the recommended size.

Gotta love that blue malibu so sweet

[@toddcarr.]

Awesome takedown and maintenance vid. Love the blue on it. Thanks for the look see and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

[@brianw8243]

Still bummed I missed the textured blue Malibu drop by a few minutes. Love that thing.

[@northwoodsleatherworksco]

Good shoutout on the 5mm bearings. I tried both, and found the 5mm worked best. They just feel smoother and provided the action I was looking for!

[@iggy1397]

Boy oh boy that was stressful, I was so worried that that spring was going to launch into the atmosphere. I have the same kinda luck, always finding the oddest way to f$&@ my sh@$ up or just lose it all together. It’s why I don’t have nice things. 🥺 Thanks for the video, love the fact that you don’t edit out the tough stuff!

[@dennisthreadgill4495]

If you want to use graphite, use the kind locksmiths use, graphite in a liquid suspension. It dries leaving a good coating of graphite.

[@sinister_knife]

Still tings!

[@johnpawly1849]

They make a spray dry graphite. Probably expensive but it dries onto the part so you still have some on it when you get it back together. I just love those Malibu’s

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Excellent job! Great video 👍

[@jesseadams45]

I'm only at the point where the second bearing is still laying on the mat so I'm waiting until you notice it:) Didn't take long:) I think it's the cork, it's like camouflage for those bearings.

[@dennisthreadgill4495]

You can work the Ox-Guard into the button with a toothpick without taking the Malibu apart...

[@brianbkat]

Thank you. This video was a big help. Do you know if the pivot can be separated from the scales? I wanted to switch the hardware and blades on two of my Malibu’s but couldn’t figure out how to get the pivot out? All the disassembly videos don’t really mention trying to remove it. Thanks for another great vid.

[@LeftyEDC]

Yea they really get them in there tight. U could probably remove it just have to really pop it out

[@GBall_Vision]

Say good bye to those naps. The 2 hours will go to an hour then they don't nap. Maybe once and awhile will they nap after they get close to 2

[@j.cut_]

I’m like 99% sure you said “I may just loctite it” when you unboxed this 🤣🤣 I can’t help but do the same with any new knife I get too though.

[@dennisthreadgill4495]

Beware, the liquid graphite will stain anything it comes in contact with, your hands your clothes, the rug, etc.

[@mattrc77]

Hey Lefty, Does the handle feel like its textured aluminum or does it have that matte finish that pro-tech uses? thanks Just ordered the blue Wharncliffe model.

[@LeftyEDC]

Textured

[@flyweight_adventures]

That nick in the finish is why I went with the black textured. Easier to touch up with a sharpie or paint pen vs the blue :)

[@pro7070]

The "red" loctite you speak of is most likely not that. If they used real red loctite you would need heat to break the bond. The red sealer you are seeing is most likely Vibra-TITE VC3.

[@coprolite_steve]

Thanks for the bearing spec. I am going to put an order together for 13:15 Sunday. Are the Skiffs symmetrical so I don’t have to worry which way faces in/out? Does this matter for any bearings?

[@LeftyEDC]

Skiffs you can put in anyway. Thats one reason they are so good.

[@islisayfa]

Hello! I'm stuck between protech malibu and kizer cormarant, which pocketknife should I choose, please help and tell me the reason. thanks

[@LeftyEDC]

Malibu all day

[@islisayfa]

@@LeftyEDC Thank you very much, I have settled on Malibu.

[@datboi__]

Why do you prefer 5mm vs 3/16?

[@LeftyEDC]

On the malibu i just noticed its not as tight a fit around the pivot barrel. Seems to give free-er action. The 3/16 will break in eventually though. Not much of a difference honestly. Talking small changed

[@christopherdodson323]

What oil are you using?

[@LeftyEDC]

Usually kpl. On the latest one i left their oil in and just swapped bearings. Way less stick
