By far the easiest way to assemble a axis lock knife. I wish had watched your video 4 knifes ago. Just got my tagged out and swapped scales to AWT. Thanks
From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU FOR THIS CLIP! One of the springs on my Bugout broke and without this clip I would have never been able to repair my knife on my own. Now it's put back together. The blade is perfectly centered and it runs smooth. Best regards from the Blackforest / South Germany!
You are so welcome, I am glad to hear that. Thank you so much for watching!!!
This benchmade knife, q tips, locktite, masking tape, drill bits, and Chinese knockoff omega springs are the PERFECT addition to my BUGOUT kit.
Thank for your Video. Purchase a Special Run Bug out with M4, G10, Grey coated blade. I love it , had it 30 days flicked it HARD, to make a loud satisfying snap. Yesterday Saturday while snapping-open both springs cracked at about 4pm. I ordered for 9.99 from Amazon. Received them Today Sunday at 3:37 pm. It’s now 4:40 I have been done about 10 minutes. It is good as new 😎. I watched your video about 20 times between yesterday and this morning. I had tools and supplies ready, and Knife completely taken apart and laid on table. I opened door and began to put back as per your great instructions. ( Did not tape ) .. it’s done ✅ and I’m happy .. no sweat.. I figured out a couple of hacks if anyone needs advice. Now that I’m confident I will purchase a few more used or cheap basic big outs with out any fear of taking apart and customizing Scales, Hardware, etc. Thanks Again
I feel great again , my knife is back and fixed it my self.

thank you so much for watching and i am glad this video helped!!
Thank man! Helped me put my aluminum back together when I got a little stuck on the process.
It doesnt matter what side is worn. THE NUMBER ONE thing you want to make sure of is is that the side with the bur from when they were stamped out is not facing the blade. Most time Benchmade puts the bushings in facing the same direction so on one side fo the blade the bur will be facing the blade and you want to switch whatever side has this so the rounded or the stamped side is facing the blade. If you have this then get some 1000 grit sandpaper and place the none shiny side down and make like 10-20 circles with the bushing on the sandpaper to polish the bushing so you can make sure that both rounded or stamped sides are facing the blade NOT THE BUR!
thanks for pointing that out
That's a real shame that such an expensive knife has these problems
If nothing ever broke these companies would be out of business.
Only video I could find with total disassembly. Thank you very much. Now I just need to find a European dealer that carries the 535-3 carbon edition.
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this easy to follow guide!! Much appreciated
thanks for watching!
Question how do I disassemble a Benchmade Arcane. I can’t figure out how to take out the locks
I know what knife I'm never buying... This is the 2nd video I've seen about the bugout breaking in 2 days.
all axis lock knives use the omega spring, so if you are paranoid about it then i would say just use a different lock type altogether
I love the blade but don’t like the locking mechanism…I had my reservations when I bought it and I was right…great blade tho
hey that's the exact bhq bugout i have, love it :) i will need to watch this video when i get home cause now that it's broken in it falls shut and stuff but needs adjustment often so i need to disassemble/clean and loctite
Good luck!
Thanks for this, really helped me do a blade & axis bar swap. Far easier for me than trying to do the slide the blade in method that I've done before on other bar lock knives.
yeah i tried that method my first time and it was nearly impossible. thanks for watching, and i am glad it helped!
I love knife
me too!
What I do to get the old Loktite out of the Pivot Screw is drop both sides in some alcohol and let it set for 5 or so min and use a toothpick to clean the male side and use a cotton swab to clean the female. It does a nice job of cleaning them, then you can add the new.
Good job. appreciated.
I LOVE YOU FOR THIS
i love you for watching!!
Yes benchmade lifesharp warranty would cover repairs and sharpen it for you 😉. I've never broken an omega spring, yet ,,😃😀😉
while that is true, I did not want to wait nor risk having them do a worse job, it's a pretty easy fix
so i got the m4 version and it felt really gritty right out of the box and had a lot of lock stick so to took it apart and noticed a lot that could be better. the liners/housing for the axis lock has a rough surface so the edges of all of the holes are sharp to the touch and the rough surface adds to this almost like serrations so i polished the flat surfaces with a strop and inside the where the axis lock rides i had the perfect aluminum oxide 5000 grit sharper for sharpening blade serrations whic fit perfectly so i smoothed that out. i think with how rough that whole area is what causes these springs to wear out. but that wasn’t the worst of it. the hole for the pivot was so sharp and jagged that it was destroying my washers and the surface of the blade tang behind the washers had super aggressive machining lines but beyond that it was also very pitted. the surface that the other side of the washer rests against was also rough and the entire surface of the tang that the lock rides against was pitted and rough and the lock bar itself was rough. also the pivot itself is “D” shaped and the shoulders of the flat part of the “D” shape was rough because of machining lines. i polished all of that out and now it’s much smoother and zero lock stick…. i have two budget chinese axis style knives each cost exactly $50 and neither have any of those issues but my american made $200 benchmade had zero quality control.
Chinese knife brands like civivi blow benchmade out of the water
Super video!
👋 👋 hello!!!! #DSKFS #BEUP
GOOD INFO 👍🏽❗️
I bought a pivot tool off Etsy to help change the springs but I'm still nervous about opening it up and taking it apart one day I will man up and do it
you can do it! use this video for help
How do the omega springs break? 👀 I've had my mini for a while now, and I've flicked really hard because yk it's fidgety so it's kinda a stress reliever, but how do they break. 👀
literally i have no idea, it just seems to be random
I have my griptilian for a 6 years. Still running smooth without any problems.
I haven't bought a single for my collection that has any type of springs. I stick to liner and frame locks.
I do like the lack of moving parts in those locks, but axis locks are the most fun to fidget with for sure
There is no detend ball in any axis lock whatsoever. The mark you see on the blade near the pivot is very likely to be the result of the HRC testing made at the factory (which is usually made on a part of the knife that is hidden to the end user).
I don’t get why you would lube the washers on the side that doesn’t touch the blade. There’s no friction to need lube and it attracts more grime to build up.
yeah it's probably unnecessary looking back on it, i most likely wouldn't do it again. I just did it because the guy i know who makes bugouts said that he does that
Idk why they dont put a good steel wire omega spring
Isn’t that covered under the lifetime warranty? I’d rather just send it in. I didn’t pay that premium Benchmade Butterfly tax for nothing.
It is, but I didn't want to wait!
@@EDCObsession There’s a simple solution for that as well... buy more knives! Thanks for the upload regardless, very helpful tutorial.
@@Heyjuststfu Thank you so much!! Did you have to replace a spring?
I just send it in for warranty.
Omg. This is rough
Bench made has a lifetime warranty. Why would we need to fuck with it?
Just in case you are too impatient or don’t want BM to change anything in your knife that you put there
Overpriced junk.
agreed
What a bummer that you even have to do this to a knife that costs that much. What a ripoff. Most overrated knife ever. Doesn't even have liners. Plastic junk
