Bro this video is sick. I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time out to be super thorough. I heard tips in here I've never heard anywhere else. Great video.

[@samburk7509]

My logo side was super super stuck I had to use leather and two screwdrivers one for the pivot and another for the logo screw to break it loose. Still got it done without stripping anything and the knife is even more gorgeous now! Excellent design. Damn good knife.

[@NeevesKnives]

@samburk7509 👊 good idea i shoulda mentioned leather

[@maxlvledc]

Actually very glad I watched this, thanks Jared!

[@tridechris22]

Also, another way you can protect the tips of pliers so that they don't need stuff up is to use heat shrink tube. You can put it on there and then cut it off if you need to.

[@NeevesKnives]

@@tridechris22 sweet

[@ChrisGrosh]

Honestly bro I really don't like the hammer idea but to each his own. I personally recommend using either a electric woodburner type tool or a butane soldering pen and press it to the stuck screw for a few and then unscrewing it. May take a few times back and forth but it has never failed to work for me. I have been doing this for years and it even worked with some if the crazy strong white thread locker that some factories use.

[@Elmax17.5dps]

Thanks for taking the time to address issues that may arise while going into a knife. Great video

[@jhall_edc]

I've disassembled a lot of knives and watched a lot of disassembly videos and I learned some new tips here thanks bro.

[@SilverPharm]

Great video. I like to take a piece of aquarium air tubing that I cut a slit down one side and place over the sharp edge while working on my knives. Saves cutting yourself if you slip.

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

Smart

[@drewrinker2071]

Ordered up the new clip, thanks for fixing this issue man. Been wanting to carry this knife but can't cause of my thick Carhartt

[@arqfran75]

Thanks for sharing knowledge. It helps me a lot

[@joshglaze6571]

Great video! Am I the only one that kept getting distracted by the awesome acoustics of the knife every time he opened it? 😂

[@Cannons_N_Cutlery]

I appreciate the video. Awesome tips and tricks. I used it ti help put the new hardware on my Misdemeanor

[@alexandregraulle607]

I think i prefer the color of the first pocket clip ..! Less fluo, metalize green ... ^^

[@cwalker228]

Thanks man! I learned quite a bit from this video. My biggest problem is putting them back together. 80% of the time my blades are centered and the action isn’t as good as it was before I took it apart 😂

[@NeevesKnives]

@@cwalker228 typically that's because pivot is not seated, make sure there's not a d shape pivot which can be in multiple ways, like civivi has a little tiny tab connected to one side of pivot and if it's not seated in place that will happen, make sure you release lockbar also when pushing pivot through

[@ahoyt653]

On the heat side of things, I have boiled knives with locked tight, seems to work better than a wood burner….

[@johnweber1398]

Where do I get your gear organizer? It's awesome!

[@orendz7740]

I’ve stripped so many damn screws because I have a bad habit of wanting crank the screws down, especially t6. I rarely take mine apart anymore unless there’s a major issue with the action. Which rarely if ever happens. Good stuff though. You’re a wizard!

[@chrisgonzales1615]

Great video learned a lot

What maintenance tray is that?

[@cemetarygates2800]

Appreciate your knowledge and look arounds Jared.

[@donvolo2548]

Could you please tell me where you got the bit driver you used in this video? I like the larger part as it looks like it would be easier to grip than what I’m using. Thanks

[@NeevesKnives]

@@donvolo2548 the titanium one? It was a gift you can find them on Etsy some really cool ones

[@JohnathanCopley]

Goodskrew Titanium bit drivers are also amazing. They have a huge selection, but they are very expensive. I just got one about 3 weeks ago and I love it.

[@pointblank2020]

Great tips, thanks Jerad. Typically how long would you set the knife aside for the locktight to set properly?

[@kneatedc]

Great info! Thanks!

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

This! This is great knife content

[@spyderg6509]

Great job Jared, I wanted to see when you're going to do another live sharpening or members only sharpening? Thanks brotha

[@cosmicbilly]

Bro i needed this! My crkt dextro wont come apart😭 it seems the screws are connected to eachother.

[@SweetTooth8989]

I have the same issue on a sanrenmu with cross bar lock. Only one side of the pivot screw has a hole for a torx bit while the other is flat. So they're either internally connected somehow or have very strong locktite on them because the pivot screw can only turn like 20% on each side and then it locks up completely. I've tried putting a lot of force and still nothing. If I go any harder, I'll definitely strip the pivot hole. Don't know what to do and what exactly is going on.

[@TheSharpeningGuide]

This was a very cool and educational video! I’m really impressed by the setup-it looks well-designed and professional. Could you share where I can buy it or find more information about it? 🔥

[@kamranzangeneh7298]

like the set up in ur tray..screw driver bits whole thing...i always lose screws

[@hellhound2260]

If you strip a screw, or if you're just tired of your t6, just grab a dremel, diamond disc and make it a flathead. that simple.

[@davec3651]

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if someone stripped a bunch of screws due to using a T8 bit. Because T10's all around is unusual/unexpected on a knife.

[@Shibes770]

iFixit kits have been very useful for me. Look for when the Mako kit is on sale.

[@kamranzangeneh7298]

where did u get that tray if i may ask and the screw driver? please

[@JohnathanCopley]

Jared, where did you get that tray you using. I've been looking for something like that.

[@1337flite]

@Neeves Knives - Jared - do you have the Hogue Deka with Wharncliff blade? If so how is that dual grind to sharpen? Like do you sharpen it as if it is two different blades, sort of like a tanto?

[@NeevesKnives]

@@1337flite just sharpen it like it’s not there, you can do the separate but you don’t have to because the second tipis not really a tip

[@1337flite]

@@NeevesKnives Thank you Jared - I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.

[@SweetTooth8989]

It's an important point like you said to NEVER used red loctite on any threads of a pocket knife that you will ever want to disassemble at some point, red is PERMANENT thread lock that the only way to break it requires taking a torch to the screw and heating it, which you don't want to do on a knife obviously. You need to use blue loctite, and even blue loctite is way more than strong enough to keep screws from loosening on their own. Even Blue takes a fair amount of force to loosen but at least it's not permanent. Even better is purple loctite, it's a low strength loctite, lower than blue and is great for knives, especially for the ones with the smaller, more delicate fasteners. I prefer purple honestly since it requires less force to loosen screws and it's still ample strong enough to stop them from loosening. But blue also works great.

[@user-vj3zm8bo2f]

I've been using a t7 driver on all my t6 screws and haven't had any issues so far. I'm guessing a quality t6 would work just as well but having the slightly bigger bit allows you to get them nice and tight

[@Halluzinate]

That's because they're not fitting entirely into the torx screw. You're jamming a larger torx bit into the screw but only getting to a shallow degree vs a proper T6. This makes it easier to cam out, you want your bit as far into the screw as possible.

[@cosmicbilly]

Thanks for this bro! I followed your tips and was to loosen pivot screws. Now I'm having issues with the smaller screws on the handle right next to the pocket clip. What does it mean when they just spin forever? Im certain i didnt strip them because i never loosened them until now, and needed vert little pressure to turn them. Everything is still rock solid but those handle screws wont come out.

[@NeevesKnives]

@@cosmicbilly if it's spinning it's stripped

[@NeevesKnives]

@@cosmicbilly hit me up on Instagram i will see if I can help

[@NeevesKnives]

@@cosmicbilly it could be barrel spacer spinning as well, send me pictures on ig

[@chrisdecorso2229]

Hey Jared! Absolutely awesome job on the knife! I unfortunately missed out on the initial release 😔 any chance you will be doing another run soon?

[@NeevesKnives]

@@chrisdecorso2229 it's probable

[@brandynh1439]

Ah! I missed the DLC pocket clips on the store… I would have loved a different pocket clip for my Misdemeanor. Must have missed the notification for their availability. Any chance there would be more hardware and clips to come? I have the full DLC model, and would love either a new satin DLC clip, or to change the hardware out for blue hardware, which is also sold out.

[@NeevesKnives]

We are ordering more no worries, they are back to work Feb 7 we will order immediately

[@brandynh1439]

@ Good to hear. Thanks for the swift reply!

[@jintermont]

I really hope you're gonna do another run of the misdemeanor I keep kicking myself for missing out on that absurdly gorgeous knaaaf

[@stimutacss]

same cancelled my order cause i thought i was gonna get absolutely hammered by medcal bills but insurance came through

@stimutacss damn that is shitty luck man hope all goes well medically.

[@russ_simz]

Are there tips for when you see typo errors in KZbin vid titles?

[@Shibes770]

I have a Kershaw blackout and at least one of the screws what it threads into are those little brass things that cheap laptops have and what I’m having an issue with is the entire body of the knife around that brass fitting has given up I’ve even tried super gluing with no luck. unfortunately some problems cannot be solved.

[@SapperReynolds]

Jared what can I use to take finger print patina off my misdemeanor blade with out messing up my belt satin finish

[@NeevesKnives]

@SapperReynolds put a layer of 3 in 1 oil on surface let sit for 5 to 10 min or so, then use like a dish scrub it won't scratch it the steels to hard, but you are trying to get between the satin, then re coat after with oil again after washing repeat if necessary or just let sit again the dry off do that every so often

[@SapperReynolds]

Thanks bro

[@maxlvledc]

Ohhhh , Ti hardware can be finicky. Galling possible with screws??

[@mohammadmobassir2363]

Which one should I get: TOPS Knives Storm Vector SVEC-01 (Gray) or TOPS Knives Storm Vector SVEC-02 (Sniper Gray)? Both are the same, but SVEC-02 has the Sniper Gray finish. If you choose the SVEC-02, should I get it from Blade HQ or Knife Center?

[@EddieVanHalen202]

Hey Jerad, I was wondering how hard it is to sharpen cruwear steel. I’m still a beginner and use a precision adjust elite. I Want to get a crucarta pm2 but I don’t know how hard it would be to sharpen

[@NeevesKnives]

It's not hard or difficult, you biggest issue will be the geometry of a pm2 it's like 20 though bte so depending on how low you set your angle will determine your difficulty, only because the precision has slim small stones so they are not going to remove material fast, typically they are sharpened 17 -15° per side you might wanna just do what you can to match the angle or slightly higher which will make it easier.

[@spyderg6509]

My knife has absolutely perfect fit and finish brotha all good 👍

[@dannyjudson932]

That driver is sick AF!

[@wolfensus]

My biggest problem comes with putting them back together again, as I have a habit of stripping the threads on the tiny screws...

[@NeevesKnives]

@wolfensus make sure the threads catch and it's not angled

[@poncho151]

For years I used Shabazz’s disassembly videos for reference because as you were saying, every knife review he did had a disassembly video paired with it. It’s still is a really phenomenal resource for so many evergreen knife models and a lot of discontinued knives. Also slick em all is a great product, on top of using it for washers and detent balls, I actually use it in bearing knives with micarta because it won’t leak out into the micarta like oil based lubricants inevitably do around the pivot.

[@akquicksilver]

If the scales aren't metal, you want to put the caged side of bearings towards the scales. You don't want the balls rolling on softer materials, like G10 or micarta.

[@NeevesKnives]

@@akquicksilver no bearings should ever have to do that, all pocket knives will have a liner or a washer to separate otherwise the action won't work

[@akquicksilver]

@@NeevesKnives Cool, thanks.

[@peter7365]

The new pocket clip has a different colour. Sorry, but that's ugly.

[@bobp63]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos, so I do see value in what you’re providing. But, you knew a but was coming… Your OCD knife flicking is really a bit much and really distracting. I’m an older guy with a sizable collection Chris Reeve knives. If you know anything about Chris Reeve the man and his feelings about flicking knifes open and the people who do it you’ll get where I’m coming from. So maybe you could limit your flicking to under 20 per video, thanks 😉.

[@robertjones5542]

Or perhaps you could watch a channel more suitable to your overly sedate snooty style. Definitely an overly critical comment for a genuinely useful video answering questions a lot of people are afraid to ask themselves to not sound ignorant. I would humbly suggest bobp63 that you take your snooty knives and attitude and take a long stroll off a short pier. Ignore the critics Neeves and do you. Thanks for the content. Flick away!!!!!!

[@bobp63]

@@robertjones5542Well if you’re afraid to as question about a pocket knife I’d say you have bigger issues than my comments. Constantly flicking a knife often leads to many of the problems people have with them. I brought up Chris Reeve knives because Chris was VERY outspoken about calling out people for needlessly damaging knives by flicking them open. He was the first to encourage people to take apart their knifes and maintain them, hence why they provide tools to do so with their knives. The idea is to avoid creating the problem in the first place. But feel free to flick away and then watch videos on how to fix problems.

[@robertjones5542]

Bugger off. Not afraid to ask myself, referring to others new to blades and discouraged by overbearing better than thou jerk offs like yourself. I don’t think so much of myself that I tell other people what to do with their over priced bougie pocket knives like a Sebenza. But in your case I will make an exception. Kindly install yours where the sun don’t shine and enjoy thinking your prissy opinions matter to anyone else.
