Benchmade pivot screw question

[David43515]

I`ve got a Benchmade AFCK with the old linerlock that I`ve carried for years. The pivot pin that the blade rotates on is loosening up and I need to tighten it down. It`s a hew screw, but none of my metric allen wrenches fits and I don`t want to chew up the screw with the wrong size allen wrench.

So does anyone know what size screws they used? I`d like to have my sister in the States pick one up at the hardware store and drop it in the mail to me.

Thanks

are you sure its not a torx head?

all of my folders (no BM) ustilize a t8 torx head for their pivots.

Get your sis to order you one of the Torx Multi Tools from like Texas knife Maker Supply at 1-888-461-8632 part number "TORX1" for $16.95

Then if she has a farm surplus like Atwoods or something similar or even a Lowes or Sears local store front in town she can snag you a standard set of the allen head wrenches in multiple sizes for cheap there so you have one of each when you need it. Wal-Mart may even carry a set of the allen wrenches.

Thanks guys!! I knew somebody here would be able to help me out.

If anybody is ever in the area drop me a line. We`ve got some of the best skiining in the world frome Dec. to March. There`s a half dozen beautilful gof courses within a 15 minute drive. And some of the finest Salmon you`ve ever tasted all year round.

Benchmade uses t-6 and t-10. t-10 for the pivot screws. t6 for everything else.
