I just disassembled mine, and the pivot was fairly jammed in the dang thing. I had to actually remove both scales to get it out. However, I did keep track of my washers, and after some serious fiddling to get the core of the knife back on the scales, and then even more extended fiddling to get the stupid pivot through, I got it back together and was able to get it better centered, and it is smoother. This was after 2 weeks of wearing it in first, it just wasn't smooth like I wanted it until I put better lube on the washers.

Shiny washer side towards the blade, graphite dry lube or pencil works best on the tang and contact points, even axis bar. Loosen scales on the side that the blade its off on when centering. Pull the knife up to full 12oclock. Push the knife towards the direction that the centering if off. NOT opposite. The direction that's it's already leaning towards Tighten scales. Tweak tension on the barrel.

Jeff Smith Right on, they certainly aren’t bad knives, I don’t think Benchmade has ever made anything that’s completely garbage.I agree with your assessment 100%. I have a couple of sticking points, however that would keep me from using one as an EDC, even if it were a gift. The first is that they don’t fit well in my hand, which is a personal problem. The second you hit right on and it’s the flimsy scales that aren’t lined very well. I don’t imagine they’d break but they flex in a way I can’t stand. I think if they came with carbon fiber scales for the same price as the current model and knocked $40 off the current model (or did away with it) I think I’d at least be a bit closer to shelling out for one.

To improve centering, upon reassembly I keep the scale screws fairly loose and tighten the pivot screw very tightly BEFORE I tighten the scale screws. Positioning the scales (microscopically) fore and aft then completely controls the centering of the blade. When you like the way it looks, firmly tighten the scale screws. NOW you can back off the pivot screw, "jiggle" the blade from side to side and then adjust/optimize the pivot screw. The blade should stay centered. Yes, a 1/10 of a turn on the pivot screw can make a big difference in the 'free fall v blade play,' compromise, but the centering should no longer be a problem. ...Works for me!

An easy way to get keep your washers in the same place, and also to get everything back in easier is to use fishing line. Knock your pivot out and run about 12 inches of fishing line through, then tie the ends together. When you slip your blade and washers out, you basically create a knife parts "key ring." (Or necklace, depending on how long you made your fishing line.) Clean and lube everything, then get the blade and washer sandwich started back into the handle. Finally pulling the string tight, you align all of the holes back up for your pivot. Cut string and replace pivot. Easy assembly, nothing gets lost, and guaranteed to go back together in the exact same order. Came up with this for my benchmade presidio ultra, years ago. #somewhatbrilliantman.

Those washers have a "flat edge" side and a slightly rounded side. If you ensure the "flat edge" side of each washer is against the blade it works perfect, at least from what I have found. I rebuild a lot of commercial diving helmets and in some of the regulators on the helmets there are washers, very similar to the ones in the knife, that must be installed "flat edge" first otherwise it can cause airflow problems the deeper you are. Ever since I learned about that I've never looked at a washer the same way again! Thanks for the great video Nick.

Alot of fidget work to get that "acceptable" working order of the knife.

Thank you Nick, for another helpful Maintenance video! I have been watching your videos for some time now, and want to take this opportunity to thank you, for all that you do for the knife community. I would also like to take a moment, if I may please? To add a bit, as a knife maintenance public service. You may have mentioned this before at some point? But I know that I have not heard it from you. It would be a good idea, if you mentioned from time to time, on these type of videos. That after all is said and done, and the knife is adjusted to our liking. That the knife needs to be set off to the side for awhile. To give the Loctite some time to set up. I often imagine, that the uninitiated, may continue to play with the knife, after it has been cleaned, put all back together, and adjusted. The chances then are pretty good, that the pivot will back off some, while the Loctite is still wet. You know this, and I know this, but some of the newer players to knife maintenance, may not. Blue 242 Loctite, starts to set in approximately 10 minutes, but is not fully cured for 24 hours. Given that it was applied in an oil and grease free environment. I have to also add. That while you do like the blue Loctite, and are very sparing with it. And, I have to assume that you've had good luck going this blue route as well. Loctite does recommend that a 222 purple threadlocker be used for this type of work. It is designed specifically for fasteners under 1⁄4" (6 mm). Which is the case here, with folding knives. Thanks again Nick.

Carefully remove pivot and install opposite scale and immediately put the pivot into place. Done!

It took me 3 hours to put a bugout back together, centred with little play after stripping down & cleaning. Never again.

Washers come out of a bin full of "to spec" washers. They have VERY tight specs, having been cut by the zillions from rolls/sheets of metal. It's VERY easy to maintain extremely tight tolerance of washer thickness. (Put all the "pairs of" washers you ever come across into your micrometer and you will be convinced they are interchangeable!) Two washers (by no means a "pair") are randomly pulled out of the bin for each knife. Swapping washers is playing a game of ±.0001". While you are swapping washers and retightening everything, you are messing with other variables that you are discounting. The reassembly sequence is everything, the washer position is nil.

You’re a lifesaver, Nick - got my new Full Immunity today and the action out of the box was stiff to say the least. I followed along with this video (another Benchmade Axis lock) and I was able to take the knife down and lube the pivot without, well, TOO much difficulty. ;) (First time I’d ever taken a Benchmade apart.) Thanks for posting this!

I bet it has something to do with those washers... which were probably damaged slightly during reassembly, e.g. acquired a burr or were bent a little", UPDATE: I was half right!

Was going to give your video a thumbs down as you didn't disassemble the AXIS lock, but it helped me enough for me to dissemble my own Bugout w/ CF Elite handles. My blade was off center a little and thus I wanted to see what's wrong with it. It turned out the factory had both copper washers installed on one side of the blade, fudge. Once I put one washer on each side of the blade and put the knife back together, I have perfect centering.

That’s painful. And it’s 40 bucks more than the Chaparral frn, a beautiful knife with steel liners proper screws and meticulous craftsmanship.That’s why I”ll stick with Spyderco. I bought an Emerson once that looked like it was made by a drunken Knifemaker in a very dark basement.

I’m about to put Cu scales on an identical blue Bugout. The action is PERFECT, so I am a little apprehensive about how it will go! I’ll let you know how it went…

Thanks so much for this video Nick. I’m taking apart/sharpening a friend’s Bugout and immediately went to your channel for the knowledge. I know the washers were super frustrating, I had the same issue on a Boker. A lot of times it’s just because the parts (washers in this case) have worn in a certain way. The cars I work on are very particular, and I run into similar issues all the time. Things always have to go back exactly as they were 😂 thanks again and hope you’re doing well.

Seriously, asymmetrical washers? Why would benchmade do that, is it a common thing? Should I be careful of which side the washers are on when I take down my own knives (mostly cold steels, kershaws and a few kizer and U.S. bucks)?

I cannot get the play out of my bugout...and it bums me out. Really debating whether to keep it...the only thing keeping me back is the blade shape. Although this s30v edge keeps chipping or rolling on me? wtf...only done basic stuff like mail, boxes and food? I don't know if i want another benchmade...

I just bought the 535-3 carbon fiber and the action was so stiff I sent it back, getting a replacement, hoping it's better. BTW good video Nick! Sam

I have the carbon fiber bugout which im about to tear down for the first time, and to be honest, im a little bit terrified. I really dont want to mess up this knife, considering its a gift from my mother in law, so im hoping to gain some real insight from your tutorial, and im thankful for it. I wouldnt be doing this maintenance right now if it wasnt for the fact that its dirty on the inside, and the action is poor. Thank you again.

I’m going nuts trying to put my pivot back on…and side to side action is something I don’t like from many knife companies…I guess Chris Reeve spoiled us with his tight tolerances.
