How To Replace A Broken Kershaw SpeedSafe Torsion Bar

[@S3mj0n]

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.

[@R34harge]

Thanks. I was about to throw out my cryo that I just got. Took it apart and reassembled and it works great now.

[@donveko]

had the same knife for 2 1/2 years just dropped it at work and it broke thanks for the video!

[@Zelrick42]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and have a great day!

[@Zzus321]

Awesome thanks my torsion bar was snapped in 2 pieces couldn't have reassembled without your video

[@jayrodriguez1384]

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.

Woow working on MY sons Kershaw. Torsion rod broke and his tip is snapped. I started disassembling and saw pieces falling....thanks for the video!!! 1st one I spotted with my problem. Subscribed!!! I didn't know they existed haha

[@boobbbers]

Mine broke in the exact same spot. Thanks for posting.

[@bobbyharper8710]

That thick grease captures debris.

[@GuillaumeMori]

Mine just broke after 3 weeks of use, thank you for posting !

[@benb3684]

Preciate it. Almost gave up and now my Fatback is up and running again.

[@reds7vn644]

Don't flick/wrist flick the knife open and your pivot will never have issues. This will also prevent the T bar from breaking.

[@avata2fotage]

what do you mean by wrist flick it because my Kershaw that I bought a week ago has the same problem

[@shepleonard8695]

@@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.

[@richardlee1820]

Just fixed mine. Thanks so much for your assistance !!

[@chrislnflorida5192]

Mine just broke, Today 😄😄. So what i need is the Pivot and Torsion Bar, thats all that's in there? This was a gteat find, Thank U for the Bideo 👍✌

[@BryanTorok]

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.

[@seanwhalen2838]

Good explanation of everything. Maybe dragged abit . Good job bro

[@timteevin4517]

Very good. If you don't have locktite, you can use a little super glue GEL. Not regular sglue. GEL.

[@CrazyVids360]

My torsion bar was broke in 4 pieces when I opened It up. I had the knife for about a month. I flick mine open a lot tho maybe that has something to do with it.

[@larrysutton2001]

Times must be tough now. I’m three weeks into waiting for a kershaw parts order

[@thesickslug9469]

Can you give a link to a replacement torsion bar?

[@Saucegod3]

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?

[@richardkenworthy9312]

My pocket clip was on so tight I stripped 2 torque screw tools amd finally gave up ,then I wanted to change the pocket clip to a different position and had to cut a slot in the screw and had to use a screwdriver to get it out .

[@INeedAttentionEXE]

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.

[@Yoshi-pe8fj]

when i put mine back together, the liner keeps protruding and rubbing against the blade. do i need to add some grease? or is this another issue?

[@kilowatt3618]

Very informative. Thanks for the video!

[@Zelrick42]

Glad you found it useful, have a great day!

[@adame849]

mine just broke thanks for the help

[@Zelrick42]

Glad you found the video useful, have a great day!

[@jjdorado]

What size of washer did you use; and how thick were the washers?

[@giuseppeoliva577]

hello, can you give me address where to find that spring? thank you

[@lokotron1]

so if mine breaks, i can just take the spring out and i have a manual system now? cuz that would work.

[@MiataBRG]

Mine broke in exactly the same place in exactly the same way. Must be either a design or materials issue.

[@jaysonowens9788]

Where can I get this bar at

[@glen3925]

Is the t bar universal between all kershaws?

[@Nyghtprowler]

Same issue with mine...

[@wenrug9418]

lol mine broke by 2 weeks. i think its from SLOWLY closing the knife and the torsion bar popped. bought another one....these arent 100$ knives...

[@stephenkaeser2216]

I fixed the torsion bar but now I can not get the knife to lock any suggestions? it seems the blade is just a hair to low but nothing I do can get it high enough for the lock to engage?

[@Zelrick42]

Stephen, all I would know to to is disassemble it and try again. Some times that's all it takes to fix these things.

[@reds7vn644]

Flip your washers around.

[@abc456f]

Can the torsion bar lose tension over time? Feels like my blurs' action has gotten weaker, especially if I compare it to my link and knockout. Thanks!

[@Zelrick42]

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.

[@joshstarkey8883]

That's what happened to my cryo right before it broke.

[@reds7vn644]

@@Zelrick42 just clean it thoroughly and extremely light oil if any and it will fire away. T Bars are springs and springs don't wear out.

[@andresg.b.5125]

Hello Zelrick, Where did you buy the spring?

[@denboyishot7627]

Andrés G. B. You can get one free if you email Kershaw

[@GaMt13]

Spring costs $18.

[@MrDrusso]

My Kershaw Cryo 2 just broke like that, considering that I got it new a week ago. And I am from urope, so I don't think that Kershaw will send me a replacement torsion bar

[@jimgrif5998]

Anyone know where to buy replacement torsions bars. Request to Kershaw falls on deaf ears. Never buy Kershaw again!!!!

[@knifenoob5411]

Around 300 openings then prepare for the break.

[@kimsmith6974]

I had less than 50 on mine and it broke

[@Lemmingski]

It was a FU-bar!

[@steveh9436]

I've called kershaw and even emailed them. No torsion bars available. So, I'll never buy another knife from them again.

[@72plyduster1]

Try that with a broken blade they will tell you to go pound sand!

[@CARDBOARDCREATIONS]

im annoyed at the fact that you have to freaking fill out a form just to get a single part. its super dumb

[@DougHinVA]

Another video with the knife owner fiddling with the knife ... stupid and needless.
