hey i have a paraframe 2, i was wondering to start out how i could loosen the pivot point because there just seems to be a metal disc there with no screws.

Thanks

I'm not sure, mine just has a screw that I can use a regular allen wrench on.

You're a fellow countryman, so I thought it would be prudent to inform you that if a cop takes your edc knife off you and can flick it open himself, then you could be charged with possession of a gravity knife, which has been deemed illegal along with Auto knives and Balisongs(butterfly knives).

Thanks for the info, but I am aware of it. Having a loose knife usually ends up in confiscation instead of a charge.

The law is kind of stupid in that some people are talented and can flick open tight knives and even some spring-shut ones.

I personally have never had a problem as I don't flash my knife around or show off with it all the time.

Are you a collector or just a user?

[ToxIkWaste]

I have a small collection, but they're all knives I'd use. None are showpieces.

@ghostbirdofprey I can when I am speaking to a Canadian about Canadian laws.

I looked at this video because I have an older pocket knife that does not have any tabs, hooks or holes for opening it with my thumb, so being able to flick it open would actually be useful.

Unfortunately, the spring that keeps it closed seems to be stronger than me.

@lovinglistener Unfortunately, there's not much in the way of federal laws on that. it's mostly state laws, so a knife that is legal in one sate won't be in another, you can't really make a blanket statement like this.

@roji556 We are Canadian, those privileged states don't apply to us.

@lovinglistener

Actually that depends on where you are. In Texas for Instance a Balisong is NOT illegal, same in the state of Nevada. There are other states aswell.

Now I^m pretty good at it, look at youtube.com/watch?v=uK-IF-fNcq­Y
