Title: Electrum Wind hex key size?
Post by: Jabari on July 22, 2018, 10:25:32 PM
Question: does anyone know what size hex keys the Electrum Wind uses?  It doesn't fit any of the ones I have.  Thanks!

If you're asking about the blade retention knob/screw, a 9/64 seems to work on mine though there's a tiny amount of play that makes me think it might actually be metric.  Allen key multi-tools are nice to have lying around for miscellaneous fasteners.

From a "screw size" reference page:

"*NOTE: ALL SIZES ARE GIVEN IN IMPERIAL MEASUREMENTS. DO NOT USE METRIC; IT WILL RUIN YOUR SABER.*"

I believe that ktulu1347 has it though.  They all should be a standard/common size, and use one or two hex wrenches.

9/64, 5/64, or 3/32 is pretty common.  Some are more snug or more loose, but it's the correct tool. :)

Something like this would do it...

What Lord Rapine said, I typically have a set of hex keys in my tool box that I use.
