Benchmade knives are built with precision, and when it's time to make small adjustments or install replacement parts, such as a pocket clip, using the right tools ensures you protect your investment.
To adjust screws or hardware on your Benchmade knife, we recommend a Torx® driver set that includes the following sizes:
Required Torx Sizes
-
T6 (Torx #6):
Used for handle screws, pocket clip screws, and thumb studs. -
T8 (Torx #8):
Used for pivot screws on most Benchmade Bali-Song® models. -
T10 (Torx #10):
Used for pivot screws on most folding knives.
Tips for Adjustment
-
Apply Even Pressure:
Use a well-fitted driver and turn slowly to avoid stripping the screw head. -
Use Thread Locker (Optional):
A small drop of blue Loctite on the threads can help screws stay in place while still allowing for future removal. -
Avoid Over-Tightening:
Excess torque can affect blade action or damage the screw threads.
Don’t Have the Right Tools?
You can find quality Torx sets online or at most hardware stores. Look for precision driver sets that are designed for electronics or small equipment; they offer better fit and control.
