The millie is simple to disassemble and reassemble, its the tweaking that my o.c.d. self does to things that take some time

I knew you would figure it out. Sometimes a little time and patience works!

the pivot screw fell out because i was being stupid i took male half of the pivot out and left female in i opened the knife ande the female portion fell out and out came blade i was trying to jus get it loose so i could straighten the blade but lesson learn. Thanks all you guys for helping me so quick i was literally workin on millie in on hand and typin on the forums with the other. You guys are great.

are we sure we're good this time..... glad you got it back together; I knew you could do it. These knives are not that difficult

Yea its simple as everything, but the thought that i had voided my warranty along with trying to be in a hurry to do it made things more complicated. Really is simple. thanks again you guys for all the help. A naggin wife telling you to stop playing with your knife is probably another reason i messed up earlier.

I am sure many of us can relate. My wife has mellowed out some, but there are still many times she says something :) I probably get more :rolleyes: than anything now

I've made it a habit not to adjust anything during the break-in period. Not only with Spyderco, but with other brands as well.

For example, when I first received my Millie, the liner lock would make a minor scraping sound as it rubbed against the tang during closing. That went away after about a week. Probably a small burr that wore down or fell off with some usage. I only noticed the sound because I was in a quite room and can't imagine something like that being detected at the factory.
