Lol, they are so small.  Do I need a special tool?  Maybe I need to get out my glasses..... :D

precision screwdrivers like for electronic work.  You get them at most dollar stores for a buck.

Torx T6, you can buy a set of precision screwdriver with it at home depot I'm pretty sure.

I forgot Kershaw is 9 mins from me.  Just called them, they said bring it in and they'll replace it.  Only takes them a couple mins!

They wouldn't happen to be selling seconds or anything would they? =(

I'll check when I go there.  Probably be Wednesday because I'm taking the baby to the zoo for her first time tomorrow!  Last time I went and asked though there was a very unhelpful receptionist, so maybe this time I'll have better luck.   She did mention to me that they have two huge warehouse sales a year for the public that has all their seconds.  Next one is in June I believe.

I'll find out for sure though.

She actually told me twice a year.  Once in December, which I had just missed, and the other in June.

Not sure what they sell for but if you're mostly into knives perhaps you could have a look at Kershaw's T-tool or Benchmade's Pocket Torx.


PS: BTW that Benchmade offering reminds me of the MT.O charter membership kit. What bits are included with that? Perhaps it would be a viable (if not better :pok:) option. :)

No torx in the kit, but you could add some easily.  Thats what I am going to do.  Get rid of the flatheads and add two torx bits.

Well, took the knife to Kershaw and it took them about 5 minutes to put a brand new clip on it as well as a fresh new edge!  Looks practically brand new now! :tu:
