I think there are pivot screws, but likely obscured by the micarta scales. Also curious to see it disassembled.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:19 pm
It appears to be bearings now that you mention it. There is no pivot screw and the blade stock is slightly thinner than the lock bar and backspacer. This leads to a very small amount of side to side blade play, but the action is super smooth. I can Spydie flick this one with ease where I normally struggle with small backlocks like the Delica, Dragonfly, and Native LW. It opens so much smoother than any of these. Shining a light in it I can't make out any washers, so I am thinking it is bearings based on how smooth the action is.
What about just taking a picture from the top of the pivot to see if you can see the copper color of phosphor bronze washers? (if they are present) no disassembly requiredsteelcity16 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:05 pm
Lol, I didn't want to mess with the action. It is soooo smooth. I'll let some one else be guinea pig.

Is Lionsteel known for using pins? We need a picture of the the edge-ucation sheet dang it. The spyderco app doesn't mention anything about washers or bearings for this model
