Here is the imgur album of me disassembling the Pochi. I was curious and thought Id share. Tried uploading pictures here normally but the file sizes were too big. Very nice little knife.

It required a T6 and a T8

That was cool.

You know, I'm right handed but it's easier for me to open/close with my left hand.
Also, the tail does not give me more purchase.

A very nice knife.

Yeah Id agree, the tail doesnt really give much more grip at all. Almost seems purely aesthetic.

I wouldn’t have guessed bearings.

Are there washers between the titanium scale and the bearings? I thought there weren't but looking at the high-res now I can't tell.

Thanks for the pics, that's an interesting design.

No it’s just the bearings. But I think it is running on a bushing style pivot like the colorado spydies

Yes, they are washers with a D-shaped hole in the middle locking them in place while the bearing moves on them. I almost missed them when I did a teardown on my knife.

not sure why, but the fact that the tail has bronze washers with an internal stop pin makes me giggle. It was certainly well engineered.

It's an amusing knife and I'm glad they made it.

Has anyone asked for an XXL version yet? :winking-tongue
