Welcome to mikegolden Games so one of my friends was telling me about this site
called wish and he was able to find some switchblades on there here's one of my
old ones it's getting pretty beaten up I'm using it on my Jeep and stuff so
ordered a cheap out the front knife so let's cut this thing open and actually
see how good it is there's actually a few different ones that I ordered so the
first one to arrive we'll see which one it is
benchmade we'll see so it says it's benchmade knife company I doubt it it's
from China so let's get this thing open it's got a nice nylon sheath it's not
too bad check that open it's got a wooden handle it says benchmade right on
there can you see it it says benchmade right on there I mean
it doesn't feel too bad let's let's see how it handles
it's pretty smooth I mean you can tell that mean the blade quality just looks
like a pocketknife you know it doesn't look anything special but out the front
knives are really nice and now in Illinois as of last year we're allowed
to carry them if you have a FOID card so this is a pretty nice knife so I'm gonna
test this knife out for a few days and see how it is I'm gonna put some Quantum
Coat on here which it will actually speed up the blade coming out so not ten
minutes after the previous clip my friend came by and started playing with
the knife and literally broke it like a second later so basically what happened
was we got a fixed but there's a little pin in here that came loose and so we
took the knife apart and basically just pushed that back so what I'm planning on
doing right now is I'm gonna take it apart put some quantum coat or a quick
and CLP on this thing and then maybe glue down that bar because it doesn't
need to come loose we'll see I've got this cheap bit set from Harbor Freight
so the size we're going to be using is it's a little Torx bit and it is a size
six
it's a t6 so we're gonna start on this side and just loosen up all of these
and then there's one more right here for the switch this one's gonna come off and
the switch itself is gonna peel away so make sure we get this all the way out so
for some reason I can't get this screw to come out now yesterday it loosened
right up and this clip came right off now the whole thing is stuck the screw
just keeps twisting and it's not coming off so I'm gonna try to take off the
other side so we got those screws out so we'll just slide this piece over there's
really not too much you can see on this side the other side is where the spring
is but I don't know why this piece won't come off now there's really nothing we
can lube up on this side the blade on the channel but you can see there's like
little pieces of metal so they didn't really clean it after they manufactured
it so what I'll do is just kind of clean this up get these metal shavings off
with this side off we should be able to get this spring here and just get a drop
in there get it on anything that moves
and then can you see inside inside here looks like the blade rubs against the
frame and then over here
and see the swearing just get a little bit on there
get it down the edges I'll get it in the threads for the screws just to make sure
this thing doesn't strip because I don't know the quality of the metal they used
but for the most part that should be good on this side
so now that we got that lubed up let's try to open this and see what happens
yeah so this screw right here is spinning with this one so I need to try
and hold it down we're able to get the switch out by holding this piece right
here and twisting this so basically this whole assembly is spinning freely where
yesterday it was nice and solid for whatever reason today this loosened
up so it was a little more difficult to get to but now we should be able to get
to the spring easy so here's the whole assembly so as I was saying earlier
yesterday when my friend was playing with it this piece right here lifted up
and it got stuck so as long as this piece stays down it won't get stuck so I
was thinking maybe I'll glue it right now I'm not gonna mess with that though
what I want to do is just get this spring lubed up with that clicking CLP
and that'll help with rust you know it'll help prevent any rust
from forming which actually there's some rust right on here already
thanks China and then let's get these threads lubed up as well and then I'm
not gonna worry about polishing anything down right now but I just want to get
any metal on metal spots on this blade so there is no kind of rust or where
that occurs
there is see channels in here let's get that lubed up then the other side
and that should be pretty good make sure we got that and again let's just get
this piece right in there and honestly that is probably more than you need but
I like to make sure I'm thorough in case I miss anything
all this Lube will wick all over the place and it'll get everywhere that I
missed so this should be pretty good so let's get the sink go back together so
what we're doing now is putting it back together this is how we got it apart by
holding that with some pliers and it's gonna hold the one pin in place so we
can get the screw tightened down so because I didn't pull it you know that
piece got stuck again but I was able to get it free by just smacking it like
that and now it works again so like I said I'm gonna work the quick and steel
P in for a little bit and then we'll take another after audio and see how
this thing sounds just gonna mix up some epoxy so we can try to glue down that
one screw that keeps spinning freely in the nether and it all mixed up so now
we're gonna place the epoxy right on that in there I've let the epoxy dry and
yeah it's still spinning so I'm just gonna say I'm gonna leave this video
here I'm not gonna be able to fix this knife right now so it has a misadventure
what can I say cheap Chinese piece of knife you know whatever I'm gonna leave
