UKPK take down

#1

Post by proguide »

For all of you UK fans out there, how easy are they to disassemble and fit back together correctly. I can't imagine it's too bad with such a small amount of moving parts.(I like to tinker) I am interested in adding another spydie or 3 to the collection. I need a good slippie. How strong is the spring as far as slip joints go? Are there any pics of a disassembled one floating around.

Thanks

The trick is to just take off one side of the G-10 and leave the rest as it is. That way, you wouldnt have to worry about putting it all back together while being able to thoroughly clean the knife inside.

Cool cutaway Dennis, especially the half-stop close-up.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Where is the bend in the spring? is it at the screw midway or at the thin spot near the front? Thanks for your input.

From watching mine, I'd say it flexes at the thin spot.
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.
