I have not seen this discussed elsewhere and did not find the answer on the Randall Made website.

On my Randall 3-5 hunting knife (leather handle, I use it.) the nut has worked itself loose. Any recommendations for tightening it? I do not want to over-tighten it, and I was thinking a drop of blue Loctite would prevent this in the future. Thoughts?

Sounds good to me and don't over-tighten...say about 15-20 Inch Lbs.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Capt

Not arguing with you, but did you mean inch pounds, not foot pounds?

No arguement dude! Just a brain fart. I have edited my post. Yes: Inch Pounds, indeed!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

I have actually installed many a barrel when building an AR15 using a Brownells gunsmith’s advice for, “hand tight.” I suspected this was the same, but wanted to be sure. Thank you!
