What is the benefit of a takedown knife?
The alingment pins allow repeated assembly/disassembly of the knife during the creation process.
It also allows for movement of unstable handle materials.
Allows for hot-bluing, etching of Damascus, wrought iron pieces, etc.
Most of the knives we make here are non-stainless and this also allows the owner to participate in the internal "health" of his knife to ensure no rust/cancer is occuring in otherwise un-seen or inacessible areas of the knife.
Each part of the knife can be dealt and maintained on an individual basis.
Take a nice gun out on a hunt and when you get back home, you can disassemble the gun, clean it up, oil it up, and put it away.
Same here.
