Blade off center on military
Blade off center on military
I purchased a millie on christmas, and the blade was dead center. Well just looked at my knife and the blade is almost scrubbing the whole right side!!! I havent pried or even used the knife really just played with it. What should i do can i center it myself , or should it be on the next thing smoking back to golden?

Wedge the blade with a piece of folded paper so that it's centered and slowly adjust the pivot to desired tension. When you take out the paper, the blade should still be centered.

I agree with the others. Sometimes it takes a bit but if you keep messing with it; you should eventually be able to get it back how it was. Sometimes you have to reloosen it and move the blade around and slowly tighten it back up. I have played with a few and some are more stubborn than others. Sometimes they also take a little persuation as well. I know have all mine centered except for my $25 UKPK. If you see some of my past threads; I have had a few way off center, but they are all fixed now
Good luck, hope you get it back how you like it

I have sometimes just held the blade to one side while adjusting; similar concept

welp the **** blade jus fell out of the knife off to golden it goes!! the washers on the inside have some damge to them it looks like. I've never seen the inner working of a knife soI dont know if its normal or not either way I'm not voiding my warranty by taking the knife apart. I'll let the pros deal with it

Did you have the pivot too loose?Allen R. wrote:welp the **** blade jus fell out of the knife off to golden it goes!!

How the heck did that happen? you should easily be able to clean it up and put it back in. I do not see how it would just fall out unless something broke. Its got a hole in it where the pivot assy goes through.
Sorry to hear about your loss....I still believe you can handle the task.

I am sure you can figure it out. I took my PM2 completely appart to clean and adjust it and polish the Pivot washers. The pm2 seems more comPlicated then the milie. Have you searched you tube for disassembly and reassembly videos?
Some photos or video of your issue would help as well....

Ok got the millie back together i also fixed the blade issue, It was a combination of the pivot screw along with the first screw that holds the knife together after loosing one then tightening the other i have found the perfect balance. The millie is simple to disassemble and reassemble, its the tweaking that my o.c.d. self does to things that take some time
