Torx and yes, I believe the blue box will work. Just double check to make sure it is torx. Looks like the star of david.

Don't worry about mentioning BM as long as it does not start conflict. Many of us are fans.

The BBB does not have a T9. You need a T9.

I'd forego the Blue Box and go to your local hardware store, Home Depot, or Lowes. Pick up a Husky Torx set(I have three actually). It has sizes T-4 through T-15. That one tool will solve all your disassembly needs.

Often handy to have two, at least. One for the torx on each side of some pivots for example. Or just to have two different sizes of torx ready to go...for disassembly of a knife with more than one torx size holding it together.

Anyhow, the Husky set is a nice value for weekend torxing. :)
Follow the mushin, but pay it no heed.

The bits in the blue box aren't great quality, you'll need something a little more durable.

I personally like the Kobalt tool from Lowes. My friend actually broke a bit on his BM 550 and I just brought it back and exchanged it. I did not have my proff of purchase and I bought it over a year ago.

Another thing I like about the Kobalt tool is that the bits are attached to the inside of the handle and come out when you pull the bottom off. The Husky tool, the bits kinda "fall out" since the bits are organized inside of the handle. Either route, you cant go wrong for 6$. You get a life time warrenty on them as well.
