If that's the case, keep doing what you're doing! :D Fantastic job, mate.

Anything is possible. They may or may not have current plans.

From studying some of the photos posted above it appears that the pivot bushing sticks out beyond the sides of the blade, so the scales would have to be pried apart somewhat before the blade and pivot bushing can come out. Apparently some of the rivets have to be drilled out before the scales can be pried apart.

Hey MR,

Thanks and super good job on your illustrated takedowns.

BTW, have you tried to rebuild FRN with this kits? It seems to have D-bolt and torx screws to fix Delica LW version. I wonder if it matches.

Congrats on a great new knife

btw, is there a reason why the s110v blade has that extra notch on the blade tang?

The extra notch is simply just an entrance point to mill out the shape. Very similar to the circular holes sometimes seen on frame locks and liner locks. Why they changed the fabrication between the two I don't know.

Pulling the pivot doesn't release it?

I bought 2 S110V because I thought about doing a swap.

The pivot and scale design keeps the pivot captured until you remove the scales, so you cannot just remove the screw and slip the pivot through.

Great work MR. Looking forward to seeing how you reassemble the FRN S30V. Maybe we should at least call you Mr. Rookie, or maybe SS Rookie (sometimes sane )

But look out... from your prior posts, your wife may think you've bought two more new knives :D

....eish....also true...women sometimes....aaaaarg....

:cool:

Excellent work MadRookie.

I don't either, but my "best guess" would be that S110V requires either a different cutting method or a different grinding setup than S30V and that the extra notch and hole are necessary artifacts of that.

Amazing Swap! :D Very well done :)

Awesome thread! thanks for sharing MR

Hey MR,

Did you find the screw and bolt to rebuild FRN shells with S30V blade? Have you tried Delica repair kit screws and bolt being helpful?

That edge is just awesome. Great job!
