Re: Taking apart knives - part 2

Don't know if its a widespread issue, buts its always been a problem for me. That is a little scary. Since my last post, I've added a thick coat of 85 wt nano oil to the underside of those nested liners. Because the screws will not likely tolerate much more in the way of disassembly, I think this w...
