I like the Pyrite knives, but two of mine have some pretty bad button stick. I haven’t taken the time to take them apart and try to polish out the button stick, but I suppose I’ll have to do that. Thanks for showing how to disassemble and reassemble these knives.
One of Metal Complex's only complaints was that he believed it wasn't a captive pivot. He will be ecstatic to see he was wrong. Hell, I'm ecstatic to see that D shaped pivot. I've already got 2. I now see a perfect pyrite and a large pyrite in my future. Thank you Nick!
The pivot has the d shape but still isn’t captive. I just took mine apart and the frame doesn’t have the same d shape for it to lock into. So strange, I wonder why they would even add the d shape if they’re not gonna do it on the frame
Hmm. I've taken both mine apart, but don't remember a washer. Looks like I've another thingortude to do in the next couple days(my kickstarter version still has ridiculous button stick, so why not take it apart again? ). Glad to have you back in my algorithm. ✌🏽🤘🏼
i have the cjrb pyrite alt in black and it does have the single washer on the clipside as well. i was also wondering if it was supposed to have this washer, i should have come to your channel first cause nobody else either didnt notice it or whatever. and sure enough you noticed the single washer. well done!! thanks!!!
I've been eying the Pyrate Alt, and I figure this vid of yours should be applicable to that, too. I also have a couple quick questions; firstly being, were you using a plain ol' microfiber cloth to wipe down the blade or was that something different? Alsoooo, while not exactly a question but a request... if you get the Civivi Vision FG, I would love to see a disassembly vid for that, too! 😊
That's weird. I recently got myself a Ti Pyrite and took it apart to anodize. The pivot had two washers so my guess is it should have two washers by default. Makes me wonder if some Pyrites are slipping through QC.
Mine was actually falling apart the pivot would not stay together I let the loctite sit for a day then two days then I just returned it after super glue wouldn’t work.
Is there a video that Nick doesn’t refer to his knife as a “guy”? Whether it’s “little guy right here”. Or “big guy right here”, or simply just “this guy right here” does that video exist?
Being careful about recommending a budget knife makes so much sense. I would hate to green light a product to someone who has little disposable income only to have it be a dud.
