Disassembly: Boker AK74 (Push Button Auto)

Disassembling any push button automatic knife can be fairly dangerous if you don't properly respect the spring blade, so come watch me do it! This is probably the most common side opening auto in the world, the Boker Kalashnikov.

Thanks man, this video really helped me to reassemble my knife. It's not the same model or brand, but it's the same concept. I was fixing my Maddox Tanto, and I couldn't figure out why my knife wasn't springing open after I reassembled it. Turns out, I didn't even realize that it had a spring in it and accidentally left it out when I put it back together. Your video really made reassembling my knife easier AND allowed me to realize that I was missing the spring. Thanks man. P.S - It really is easier to reassemble knives like these with an extra set of hands.

Thanks for posting this. I wanted to make sure I was approaching this right. I broke the pocket clip on mine a while back and just got a replacement.

[@tomfoolery2082]

A lot less to it than i thot , uv given me confidence tht i can do this as well . Well here i go .

[@asuperstraightpureblood]

Helpful man, thanks. I found an Ak74 couple weeks ago. Old and Grimed up, and did not spring open only opened like a basic folder. Broke it down and cleaned it and got the spring bent back into service. Now I press the button and she leaps open with a definitive pop.really a cool little carry piece.

NICE! Glad I could help save a knife. Thanks for letting me know and I’m happy you were able to succeed with it.

[@asuperstraightpureblood]

@@DaveLikesKnives I'm glad too, Dave.

[@beeferbaron]

Thank you so much for walking me through this, much appreciated kind sir 💪

[@YourHandleHere84]

This was incredibly helpful. I just got one and wanted to clean and oil it, but was worried it might be too much to deal with. Unexpectedly simple design, shouldn’t be much trouble. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@TheShredderKnifeReviews]

This was great man! Ive never had the guts to take apart a button lock before lol. Others, sure. But not a button lock.

[@DaveLikesKnives]

Thanks man, you always gotta be careful about putting springs back in their place

[@gadgetstalker2]

I felt confident about opening mine up when you disassembled then all the confidence left when you tried to put it back together and had to edit

[@DaveLikesKnives]

yea... sorry

[@Moistpotatoman]

don’t mind these haters sometimes things take a few tries.

[@lucasmucas377]

Really enjoying your vids!

[@DaveLikesKnives]

I’m really enjoying you

[@TristateEDC]

Dave... I'm an idiot, and I just realized I wasn't subscribed to your channel! Amazing Stuff! Keep it up brother!

[@DaveLikesKnives]

Thanks my dude!

[@1Fine69c]

My recommendation to anyone buying these knives is to order some extra spring along with it because it will be weak when it arrives.

[@danielshepherd5106]

NICE

[@DaveLikesKnives]

THANKS

[@andreasjonsson8075]

Please start using graphite lube in your knives fellas. It does not attract dirt, and will not rinse out with water. Only 100% alcohol.

[@TJTroubleMaker]

Thats how deformed my spring is and the whole spring looks brown and without the spring the knife closes like normal but with the spring its doesnt close as far and creates a potential to scratch me when reaching into my pocket. Guess ill have to buy a new spring and see if i can fix it. It not even a year old yet.

[@seanthomas8864]

Everyday edc sent me.

[@DaveLikesKnives]

Thanks for checking me out! He's a good dude.

[@jackfrost3560]

We're do I get a new spring? Do you have a email address for it ?

[@DaveLikesKnives]

Email Boker would be my suggestion

[@Moistpotatoman]

bladeops just sent me a 2 pack for like $9

[@jackfrost3560]

Cool thanks

[@ipellaers]

@@DaveLikesKnives I've tried that, they do NOT provide any service. Won't send a spring, won't even send the dimensions of the thing, and RUDE as hell on top of it. Last Boker knife I've ever gotten.

[@DaveLikesKnives]

@@ipellaers oooof, first time I’ve heard that about them but that sucks. I’m sorry for your experience.

[@MeMelon4u]

Don't mean to be rude or OFFENSIVE in anyway,but when I clicked on the video i got startled 😅

[@DaveLikesKnives]

My salutations will never be offensive, but they will always be startling.

[@MeMelon4u]

@@DaveLikesKnives 😂,keep up the good work,I'm knew to the knife world and i really like them but damn are they expensive others than the fact that u don't get any good branded ones in india.

[@DaveLikesKnives]

Define expensive. If you’re in India, could you tell me some about the market there? What do you have access to and how much does it cost? What is the knife culture like? Do most people carry one, what is the legality surrounding knives? You said you’re new, what got you into the hobby? What has been your experience so far? Sorry for the deluge, your comment just sparked several layers of curiosity. Answer any or none of them as you want.
