Thanks for your excellent video complete with disassembly and reassembly. I just ordered the Kershaw Iridium and love to see how it is made.

Glad I found this video, I am looking at buying this exact knife. I also wanted to see how easy it would be to disassemble and repaint the orangish lanyard loop. This covered everything I was looking for and then some! Subscribed and saved to my disassembly playlist!! Thank you

Just bought this knife a few weeks ago, less than a month old. Both of my omega springs broke and the screws that held the scales on were almost impossible for me to remove. There are little collars inside the backspacer that rotate freely (and these are what the screws that hold the scales on are set into), so I had to pry the first scale off and use needlenose pliers to hold the collars in place to unscrew the second scale. Maybe I was really unlucky with mine, considering I got it for only 50 bucks on amazon, but hopefully somebody finds all that info useful.

@Rocky-gl3fw Thanks for the tip. I have this variant & the Ti. The Ti broke the show side omega spring & I had the same issue. After reading this I grabbed my needle nose and now all good! Thanks for helping out!

was wondering if youd ever revisit this knife? kershaw released an exclusive on their website of the iridium in a milled aluminum topo pattern with a 14c blade, they fixed alot of the original issues with the knife like the lock rock and the centering, id love to see a more in depth deconstruction and reconstruction of this knife as a guide! great content man

No but I checked out the bel air. It’s very nice. 👍

I just bought the TI (titanium) version of this knife. I also have the aluminum one. I really wish they kept the bronze colored spacer on the TI version as it looks better than the black one and adds a little pop. Maybe you can do a video of swapping the spacer out on the new TI version? After watching this I’m afraid to attempt it. I have the screw drivers but . . . to disassemble 2 of these for a color swap looks a little tricky. You think that you can remove the spacer with out fully disassembling the knife and spring?

@jd4edc Жыл бұрын

It would probably just be taking out the body screws and pulling them out to swap them.

Great video, thank you! Such small size of the bearings is a big con in my opinion. They'd better put washers.

I disassembled the Benchmade osborne 940 aluminium scales version yesterday and... that was already hell. I was cursing, tightening every tendon in my body and getting a headache from all the anger and frustration. I don't even want to get into taking apart my kershaw iridium now. Nightmare

Disassembling is the easy part, putting it back together is enough to make a grown man cry😂

@joshfa5526 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for doing these. Question: what would you say are your top 5 or 3 knives that not only have a durable locking mechanism and opening mechanism, but are also easy to maintain/disassemble?

@jd4edc 8 ай бұрын

I’d say Spyderco compression lock, followed by Benchmade and Kizer cross bar lock knives, and then Demko’s shark lock for strong locks that are relatively easy to work on. 👍

Amazon sells 10 pairs of Omega springs for $14 if they break on you like they did me.

Who makes that driver? I didn’t see it in the list.

Scout tool makes the titanium driver and Griffen makes the micarta driver and sells on combat beads website.

Man that sucks about the bearings, I still want this knife but I don't like that! Justin suggestion before you took it apart and you slid the knife in there with the bearings attached to the each side of the blade and they weren't lined up couldn't you stuck like a small t bit or something around in the hole and centered up the bearings and went ahead and push the through like that instead of disassembling the whole knife? But thanks for showing this fault of the knife. I'm sure some people would choose not to buy it because of it, I don't work around dirty area so I don't have to worry about that, but definitely a drawback to this knife!

@jd4edc Жыл бұрын

The bearings just kept sliding around and wouldn’t hold in place long enough to do it. I tried 6 times before I edited it out.

@jerrydonquixote5927 Жыл бұрын

@JD 4_EDC well thanks for the info I still think I will get this knife but now I really wish they would put some better bearings in it and did things a little different. I was really excited about this knife. I still probably will buy it, but not as excited about it...
