- After about 6 months of use and fidgeting, the omega springs broke. At first one side and then the other side. I just bought new springs to replace them as after the emailed Benchmade, they told me they were going to send new ones but didn't.
Links for the springs found below:

The d is on both sides also most pivots go in from the clipside for righties. And this was not a full disassembly
Yeah youre right. Might do a full one in the future
🤣🤣🤣
My osborne mini had zero blade play and a super smooth action. My bugout CF was very stiff and had a little blade play. Hopefully it will break in and get smoother. Adjusting the bugout sucks!
I see this more and more. Maybe the osbourne is just better made tolerance wise. The green mini osbourne is really tempting
If you want to risk scratching your blade up do it this way . Or you can do it the correct way . It involves one scale off or loosen the screws to get room . Centering is easy also . Don’t need to hold hands hear . Watch video on that fix ….
wow I've never tried that.Thanks for letting me know. I'll give it a try with my ganzo
Stupid to adjust the pivot. Let the knife break in . Takes like 2 weeks max . And he is BS with the no blade play if you loosen that much . Use blue lock tight .
yeah one thing about adjusting the pivot is that you gotta let it break-in first. then it'll be much easier to adjust the pivot.
As for the blade play, you're right. The reason it didnt have blade play in this video is that the lock stick was causing no side to side play with a lose pivot.
Once the lock stick disappeared, they knife had blade play with a lose pivot.
If you want to perfectly center your blade, you may try loosening the four body screws furthest forward (the ones the axis lock frame screws into) and slightly bending the scales in the direction you want the blade to move. Then while holding the bend as much as you can, tightening the four screws. It should only take a very slight bend to move it a tiny bit for perfect centering.
Thanks man. Ill give it a go
Also when I put pivot assembly and blade and washers when I put the first washer and blade in I pull the axislock out of the way and use a toothpick or a pick to insert into the pivot hole to line everything up while I shove the pivot through
That is actually pretty smart. Thanks man
Any time. Axis locks are tricky. But you got it
You're barely touching the blade to check for blade play. Put some damn force n it
I dont see the need to. I dont put so much lateral force on knife naturally anyway
@@edcready8894 you're right. Expecially for this type of knife. Good video my friend
Glad I found your channel!!
Im glad YOU found my channel ❤
Mine is terrible. Bladeplay or stiff. Cheap knife and hard to centre since it just does what it wants. Can’t recommend it enough
Awesome video!
Hope it helped!
Great video brother but I’m not going to disassemble my brand new bug out! 😂
no problem dude. If you ever need to, feel free to come back to see how I did it and I hope the video helps you in the future
When u disassemble a Benchmade does it void the warranty???
Hey dude. As long as you put it back together properly it should not void the warranty
Just too much $ for what you get. Btw, buy extra springs! 😊
does it matter what side the washers go on
good question. Most knives it apparently doesnt matter but I have tried enough knives to know for sure. I definitely try to keep it on the same side for consistency sake
No need to clean , and don’t fix what’s not broke .
i largely agree with this. But this is a review, and part of my review process is to show whats inside to help people understand it better
just a quick check on blade play topic. When you test the blade play, do you feel the Axis & Pivot screw move slightly if you place your thumb/index finger there instead of holding on the Grivory case itself?
I try to get the blade drop as accurate possible, but when i test the blade play, it feels ok but when i pinch the pivot scew and axis, i felt there is a slight tiny play...
Thats weird. Never happened to me before. Maybe the pivots are on backwards?
@@edcready8894 well i tried to adjust it to the best i could…anyhow today the omega spring broke….so….lol…what can i say…
The color of those scales looks alittle off. Greener than they should be.
yeah mate i think its a camera colour thing. Ive seem them very brown and very green depending on the background and the camera
What tool set are you using please?
Hey dude. Heres a video for my disassembly kit.
czcams.com/video/rxceFf9xvvg/video.html
@@edcready8894 thank you
Not a disassembly.
Yeah but ive got an omega spring installation coming up. That is a full disassembly
I took mine apart way too far i see. This video is no help to me 😭
Well nothing wrong fully taking it apart
@@edcready8894 i got it back together just now! I couldn't get the pivot screw seated properly. And putting the lock back together was hell.
But i did it. Now i know that i can save myself the headache. I will use this video next time i clean it!
Bro, where to get the lube? Great video as usual.
Thank you bro. Beli dari Yiren dari The Polished Edge. Best giler. My fav lube so far
How can I get this lube in the states. Only reason I'm asking is cause that one bottle will last me a life time
@@theknifeconnection9571 i dont know man. Maybe check amazon
@@edcready8894 what's the name of the lube
With the internet you don’t know where to get lube 😂
