Does this eventually make the blade loose when tightening, with all the marks it keep leaving each time... I don't know If I am explaining myself correctly...

Someone said awhile back that the correct way to use the retention screw is to screw it in until it makes contact with the blade...then one half to one single turn more and thats it. Sorry I can't remember who it was a week or more ago when I first got here.

Brax Offline Administrator Posts: 2055 Thank you received: 732	Is the retention screw stripped? If so, you might have to drill it out, and retap the hole. If that is the case, and it is still under warranty, I would e-mail customer support, and inquire about what to do before doing anything that might void said warranty.

For Tyeth Offline Platinum Member Posts: 1609 Thank you received: 635	Hi Codcolin78, Did you remove the retention screw completely and then re-inserted it when you put the blade in and then tightened it? For Tyeth OK Brax beat me to it again, I'm typing on a Tablet, not easy it keeps trying to CORRECT ME!

For Tyeth Offline Platinum Member Posts: 1609 Thank you received: 635	Hi Codcolin78, Again I would suggest you contact SaberForge and see if you can message Jason Polachek (he runs the custom shop but may be busy!).He may be able to give you advice on how to remove the screw without further damage being caused. Kind regards For Tyeth

I agree it sounds like it may be either cross threaded or pinched by a rotation of the blade.

Before doing anything I would contact the forge and see what they say.
I know their super busy so it might take a while to get a response.

I learned the hard way about cross threading metal parts. The best method to avoid doing it in the future is to place the screw lightly in the hole and slowly back it out while applying light pressure until you feel or hear it click. That is the point when the threads fall into line. Then slowly screw it in and if you meet resistance stop immediately and back it out and try again. If you continually meat resistance you may have a burr or other imperfection that may need work to fix.

Best of luck

H Codcollin78,

This may not be the usual way to do things but if you contact Justin using this email address, explaining your problem I am sure he may be able to advise you further, he is an amazing technician. I don't think the customer service guys and gals would have the knowledge to assist in this instance (no offence meant!)

the address: http://[email protected]

As I say, he is busy but has probably seen problems like this before, just apologise for the inconvenience contacting him this way and explain you have asked around for help first here on the forums etc.

I hope this helps and hope you get some good news,

For Tyeth

(be prepared for a slight wait though, sorry)
