    Please help

    I have a folding knife that needed to be taken apart for maintenance. The last owner super glued the frame screws in place. After removal all of the screw heads are unusable, as are 2 of the 3 spacers.

    How do I identify the screws? They are really small using a T6 drive and .240 inches long with a domed head. The spacers are .195 in diameter and .158 inches in height. How do I measure thread pitch in such small screws? The knife is an older CKRT design with no model number, however parts from a Smith & Wesson folder fit, but I don't want to dismantle another knife.

    Thank you.

    Good luck!
    Guns, if they have a moral dimension, are good. Without guns, the strong can always dominate the weak; the many can always dominate the few; and men can always dominate women. A gun gives each person an agency equivalent to his (or her) moral standing. In my humble opinion, those who teach correct and proper gun use are doing G-d's work.

    In a big city near you is an industrial fasteners supply store. The one near me (75 miles) is Tacoma Screw Products. Take the screws in there and they have bored and threaded plates to try them in. They will find you screws of the right pitch. If the new screws are too long you can smallen them with a dremel abrasive disk, and dress off the tip. If you only have a bench grinder, buy extra screws. On second thought, buy extra screws anyway.

    I would contact CRKT. I have had OUTSTANDING customer service from them. I had a knife that I thought had a saftey flaw in it. Contacted them and they sent me a new one. I evaluated it and determined it was still unsafe and they redesigned the knife and sent me a prototype.

    I think that is pretty great service.


    BTW...the guy I talked with the whole time....Douglass B Flagg. Look him up.
