I have to watch this every time it's so complicated! But worth it to get that smoothness back

Always a great morning when I get to spend some time with a Shabazz disassembly. Beautiful knife!

I messed up and lost two because I put the bolt on the wrong side closing it, and had to reopen it. But I would have lost way more without this, and the second time it was perfect!

very nice of you to take the bearings for a swim.

Looking forward to lubricating mine! I figured the ball bearings were bigger...

A ball sack if you will 😂 Always in brand with that humor my man. Great informative video.

Wonderful! Thank you.

I don't know if i'll ever get one of these, as they are really expensive, still i'm curious and thank you for sharing this moment. Awesome skill playing marbles, same with the Shirogorov.

I just got the Sting 315 about 2 weeks ago, and they are now including the tool and a bit.

Thanks for sharing bud doesn’t seem to bad for Batman but regular people may take a little longer

I KNOW i wouldnt think to do this myself but watching you do it, im wondering if the cloth or top bearing transferred any oil to the top or opening of the pivot barrel, thereby bringing oil down into the threads. But maybe not.

4:50 just when I thought Nick couldn’t be any cooler…

Didn't you get the T20 bit as well in the package? My recent ones got the tool and a bit for the pivot. ;)

I had to scroll ahead to make sure it was an actual disassembly and not a troll video lol

You could put a magnet under the mat.

Note to self, never take this knife apart! Are there replacement captured bearings to replace those? What size?

🙌🔥🙌

"So this has gotten out of hand" lol

yeeting balls. Nick where did your balls go>? lmao

“The Exxon Shabazz Oil Spill”

That bearing system is a total nightmare. No matter the cost or the beauty of the knife that system is just a big no.

quite literally a sack of balls haha

All I can hear is mayor quimby

Never In a million years. Great knife yes it is but we have the technology to use captured bearings that will be just as good and no maintenance nightmare. This is the sole reason I will never own one of these

I have to disagree with your ball installation method. My pointed tweezers work much better on my knives. Mostly shiros.
