in this step you need the blade and housing and the blade cover.

you will put the blade housing in between the cover. It may be a tight fit but if its too tight you can use a file or sand paper to help make them fit. Once the blade is in the cover you will want to aline the hole at the bottom of the knife. make sure it is allined because it will be important for the next step.
