## Questions & Answers

**Q: How simple is it to disable the locking mechanisms?**
A: i looked mine over and in my opinion you would have to remove the handles and take out the springs and locking bars on it. I would never do it tho.....may loose a finger or two. I assume that you want to do the flip tricks with it. Sorry if I'm wrong. I have 2 bali swords and they are so heavy and they are dangerous to try and flip.

**Q: Where can i get replacement screws?, when I went camping two screws fell out**
A: Email Gerber for replacement  screws. There's a good chance they'll give them to you for free. Blue loctite them in when you get them.

**Q: Can you treat it like a butterfly knife, in the sense of tricks and messing around with it? Or is it like a butterfly in just how it closes?**
A: No. It has locks you have to press to close it.  At two different points. Looks to me like this was intentional design to prevent butterfly knife tricks with it.

**Q: What angle is the knife blade?**
A: The angle of grind is 15° per side for a total of 30°.
