Thank you, very good video with easy explanation. I live in germany and couldn't find the torsion bar here. I emailed kershaw and they send me 10 torsion bars free even tho normally they don't ship to Germany! Incredible service for a great little knife.

The Skyline that I ordered came today. I didn't open like I thot it should. I took it apart. I didn't see any extra parts. Or broken ones. I watched your great video. Then I went back and checked the package. MANUAL. Oh, well. I have a lot of Speedsafes, so if one ever does break I'll know how to fix it. Thank you for posting this.

Don't flick/wrist flick the knife open and your pivot will never have issues. This will also prevent the T bar from breaking.
@avata2fotage2 жыл бұрын
what do you mean by wrist flick it because my Kershaw that I bought a week ago has the same problem
@shepleonard86952 жыл бұрын
@@avata2fotage I believe wrist flicking is when you and a little flick with your wrist on top of the finger action used to flick a knife open. If you are bending and moving your wrist in the direction of the blade travel you are wrist flicking.

Great video. About the "torsion bar", they can call it whatever they want for marketing, but it is NOT a torsion bar. It is just a spring. Properly made, a spring should be good for thousands of flexes without breaking. Someone below mentioned a wrist flick, but I can't see how that would change anything for the spring. It would likely put extra force on the pivot and wear that out.

I just replaced my torsion bar but after reassembling the knife, the knife still doesn’t open the last 1/4. It definitely has its spring back and tension when closing, but the knife just won’t open at the speed it did. What am I doing wrong? Does it need to be greased?

2:39 I beg to differ the there is the least amount of tension on the torsion bar on my kershaw 1985ST in the half way open position of the knife. This is just the one I have though and could be different.

It's possible, I'd go to Kershaw customer support site and order a new torsion bar, get some white lithium grease and just replace it. It could be gunked up, but might as well put a new one in there if you're gonna test it apart.
