Thanks Paul. Really interesting stuff. Definately going to follow your posts.

Cheers.

Thanks All for some great info. Very helpful. Thanks for the pics Paul. I didn't realize there were versions of the Chaparral in S30V steel, mine is CTS XHP.

Can anyone describe what's inside the Chaparral? Is it difficult to disassemble and reassemble?

Ok so I took the PM3 apart. Slathered in locktight on the free spinning spacer screw, oh and the lanyard tube is a pain in the butt due to the flared end. But got it opened. Sanded down the clip screw holes around the pivot. Gave it a good clean and lube. Made sure all the tolerances on the knife we...

Thanks for all the great comment. I think I am tightening correctly, just don't want to strip any screws. Looks like I will need to take this guy apart. Don't really feel like they are mine till I have done that anyway.

Let me know if you see any burs on the clip screw holes around the bushing. I'm going to check mine shortly. See if I can't sand them down. Strange quality coming from Spyderco, mine cost $200.

Cheers blueblur. I also saw a vid on YouTube that showed a PM2 where the clip screw holes near the pivot had burs on the holes from the drilling.

Thanks Attila, it happens when locked open only.

Just purchased a Slysz Bowie yesterday and loving it.

I saw a disassembly vid by Nick Shabazz where it appreared very difficult to take the Para 3 apart. Is this still the case with the red lock tight and lanyard tube?

Does anyone have a vid of a disassembly of the Chaparral?
