Hey guys……I bought a Kizer Megatherium from the 1st owner recently. I believe he never used it to cut anything and neither have I…it looks brand new. I took apart the knife to inspect and oil, and when putting it back together I found the female threads of the pivot were slightly buggered up. The pivot screw would not go back in past two turns.
I contacted Kizer (China) through email and they very nicely sent me (3) new pivots and screws. My Megatherium DOES NOT have a D-shaped pivot, so they sent the proper “older” turbine pivot, with Torx #10 on both sides.
I’ve tried putting the knife back together multiple times….the blade will not center and there is some slight play in the blade. I tried all 3 of the pivots…..no luck.
If I could clean/ream out the female threads of the ORIGINAL pivot, that might be an answer….but I have no way to do that.
Anybody have any ideas what’s going on? Any recommendations on who can take a look at fixing this? My new Megatherium is dead in the water…..
PLEASE HELP!!
