Anyone know where to find Boker Kalashinov torx t-10 screws?
I'm in the process of stripping one.

You might try www.knifekits.com Charles, they have plenty of torx screws but not described as T-10,9,8, etc., so you'd need to figure out what their codes mean. Good luck!

My bad. They are T-6.

Thanks, I'll take a peek. Not great at code deciphering though.

Don't drag my sister-in-law into this!

No one owns one of these and had to replace a screw?

You might want to consult Bill DeShivs. He has more experience than anyone I know concerning automatic knife repair/replacement parts.

I can usually find what I need at the local hardware store. I always take the screw or bolt in question with me to make sure I'm buying the correct thread.

Speaking of screws, the screws to the bottom bolsters on one of my MAGO OTFs for some reason stripped out when I tried to tighten them. It’s crazy because it’s not like I took the knife apart a lot. They must use some REALLY cheap hardware. I super glued the bolsters on and used some globs of glue and Loctite to basically weld the screws down.

Ugh! Well, that fix didn’t last long. LOL! I ended up taking the screws from one of my broken cheap OTFs and those ended up fitting okay. Got them on nice and tight. Now I just got to get the Flitz and Dremel and clean the icky glue residue off it.

I had the same trouble Mario when I bought my 2 Magos from China. They had to come disassembled for Customs reasons, and when I went to put them together some of the screws stripped because they use the absolute cheapest screws on the market. Although, I was able to use some screws that fit from other cheap Chinese knives I have. What APITA though!
