How to center a blade on a chive & cryo ?

Kershaw began its foray into the knife business sometime during 1974. The company was originally based in Portland Oregon, but most early knives were manufactured in Japan. The first US manufacturing plant was opened in 1997 & the company currently offers knives made in the U.S., Japan, & China. Pete Kershaw (an ex Gerber salesman) started the business.

You can find sets for small sized torx screws at Lowes or Home Depot. They are just a few bucks and well worth having if you have any knives that have torx screws.

I bought these at my local hardware store for not much money. They're very handy and don't take up much room. Now when I need them, if I could just remember where I put them..........

I keep this kershaw T-Tool on my keychain and I have another one floating around the house. It's perfect for handle screws and pivots.
