The TS-30 and TS-82 arrived yesterday! Very impressed with quality of material used in these knives.For some reason they come drenched in oil but bearings are not lubed.The blade on the TS-82 comes out like a Rocket when flipped. The TS-30 takes just a smidgen more pressure to engage but is no slouch. Both VERY Sharp out of box.Lock up on both is acceptable but a tiny bit early. I would pay twice as much for either one and not feel that I got took. These TwoSunknives are getting a following and I notice prices at least on Ebay are climbing. Thinking on pulling the trigger on a TS-20 today.

I have been looking at the TwoSun Brand of Knives for awhile now and decided to get a TS-30.I notice that the pivot screw is different from most others they offer.Kind of looks like the Enlan type but concave rather than convex. Does anyone know if the Enlan Tool would work with this knive or have a solution to be able to loosen the pivot screw to take the knive apart to clean or have the ability to adjust it? All replies will be DEEPLY APPRECIATED. Thanks in Advance PackN I just received the TS34 which has the same triangular pivot. The Enlan tool doesn't work. Although I haven't had to take it apart, it looks like one of the tri-wing bits that I got from this kit www.ebay.ca/itm/331915714791?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT will work fine once I sand it down a bit. This kit is definitely worth the 5 bucks. After sanding a bit one of the spanner bit, I was able to finally take apart my Enlan EL04 that had been sitting in my drawer for over a year now.

For some reason they come drenched in oil but bearings are not lubed. I have to agree with that, that's just weird. I had to clean mine completely dry with a paper towel, then flipped it a couple of times and it started to get stuck. I blew some compressed air on the pivot, added a couple of drops of oil and now it flips very nicely.

Same experience here, all my TwoSun's were totally oiled when I received them. But while the TS27 needed work on the bearings, the TS20 was lightning quick out of the box.

I used an old bit and filed away the middle section, working well with the Enlan EL04MCT's axis lock and a smaller one with the 3 dot pivot screw. For the Elan EL-01's star pivot I've made myself a tool from a branch punch, the softer metal won't scratch the pivot.
