so iv had my kimura 3 for about 2 months now and the safe handle is getting so loose!! i just took it apart and cleaned and am going to loctite it( which i learned from knifezoids tutorial) thx buddy :respect:
but the problem with the safe handle was it was pretty loose and it would move left and right( say if you were holding the knife up and down).... and i think it was because the end of the handle (where the latch meets it) those 2 lil screws are both so loose! there not holding the handle together very well and ive tried tightening them but they dont go anywhere! so i got my blade tooken off of the handles and everythings all clean, im just waiting to get help with those 2 screws before i loctite and put it back together..

Sounds like you may have striped the thread on the screws...... perhaps.

No clue. But I got a set of torx for about $5 from my local hardware store. It had both sizes that were needed for my Kimura.

Pivots = T8
Spacers & latch = T6
