Black Bladed Orange Military With Assembly Process*PICS*

#1

Post by cosmo7809 »

Hey fellas, slow night so I figured I do something I have been wanting to do ever since I had both millies in my possession.

Did a blade+hardware swap on my orange and digi-cam millie.

The thought to show the process of putting the knife back together occurred after the orange with black blade swap was done.

Here are some pictures. Keep in mind these are newer militaries (one blade was 04-09 and the other 03-09) so the back spacer is now threaded. I remember on an older millie I had the plastic back spacer had two metal "tubes" you needed to place into the backspacer so the screws could grab.

Anyways here is all the parts of the knife
Image

Next I like to place the liner into the handle then screw in the backspacer.
Image

Next add the other "liner", screw "tube" and blade with washers.
Image

Since the knife is held together with the lanyard hold just swing over the other scale on top of the blade and screw the sucker up.
Image

Ahh, back to new
Image



Here is the orange millie with black blade(and clip) which I think looks kick ***!

Hope this helped anyone who was uncertain on how to reassemble a military and how easy it really is.

Liner/frame locks are definitely the easiest knives to disassemble/reassemble. Lock-backs are a hint more difficult with the tension on the backspring. But assisted models with some hokey safety mechanism, EW!
Simplicity is perfection.
BTW not a fan of orange but the black/orange contrast is awesome.

I built one a year ago and Sal labeled it "The Goblin" :)

I was hoping it might catch on. ;)

Nice! Sure wish the black blade on my Para looked that good, it did look good for a week or so but after that it went down hill fast. Hard to keep those black blades lookin good for me anyways.
