Great video Reverand! Thank you for posting this great video with your easy to understand explanations. I almost always remove and replace the "rocker" /center pin when I am disassembling a knife or replacing a blade, but if I had a spring compressor like the one you made I think I would just remove the pivot pin more often. Thanks again Sir. ::tu:: ::tu::

Thanks Herb.
I often put that center pin in last too. Sometimes I use this tool when I fear damaging the handle material, or I may assemble the knife one way or another just based upon the mood I am in. Or whether I can find my tools!
