dismantled Knife

Post by Thom69200 »

Good Evening All, new member here

i am hoping someone can assist, i have a pocket switchblade i picked up in france many moons ago while on holiday
i was clearing out the garage and came across a box with the knife in dismantled (my son has started taking things apart)

i have no idea how it goes back together and the only distinguishing marks are the word stainless and some sort of cat (see pictures)

i was hoping someone could share a build diagram or notes on maybe how this goes back together
it has a serrated back to the knife and a small led torch which still works

Those are pretty easy to figure out.
Little spring goes under the button. Big spring goes in the pocket in the liner, with one end in the hole. The other end goes in the hole in the blade.
All of it screws together.

Thomas!
Your knife is an inexpensive build that likely came from China.
Now that's not to say there's anything wrong with it, just so you know what you have and don't have.
When you reassemble it, which as Bill said will not be difficult, it will look something like this! Under the "cat" stamp it reads "Stainless", same as yours!
