How to Disassemble & Reassemble Your Bober Knife

Follow this quick visual guide to safely dismantle and reassemble your Bober knife. No tools needed – just your fingers and a bit of care.

Disassembling the Bober

⚠️ Important: Do not disassemble the knife unless you have read the full instructions. The internal spring and ball are very small and can be lost easily.

1. Inspect your Knife

2. Notice where the Screws split apart

Hold the knife and identify the two screws holding the body together.

3. Unscrew with Fingers

Gently twist both sides of the screw counterclockwise using your fingers.

4. Remove One Side

5. Separate Both Sides

6. Remove the Cover

Carefully lift the cover plate off the knife body as indicated in the picture.

7. Inspect the Blade Inside

Notice that the blade has two locking grooves. There is a small spring-loaded ball that locks the blade in place.

8. Remove Blade Carefully

⚠️ ATTENTION! While removing the blade, hold the spring and ball in place to avoid losing them. 
Tip! To avoid losing small parts, place the knife inside a transparent ziplock bag while opening it. This way, if anything pops out, it’s safely contained.

9. Ball and Spring in Hand

This is how the spring ball assembly looks taken out of the blade.
