Benchmade Rukus - pivot pin

[huugh]

Given that there are screw heads on both sides of the pivot, could somebody who owns BM 610 Rukus tell me if the pivot pin is composed of two separate opposite male screws, or if it is male screw and female pin?
Thanks.

I haven't taken mine apart, but I'm sure a pivot pin is not going to be made up of two different screws (bolts). The pivot would be much weaker if it was not a single bolt all the way to the other side. So it would be a long male bolt, with a female head.

1 male and 1 female portion.

Just took mine apart for you. On mine, the pivot bolt bottoms out when tightening prior to the blade getting too stiff to open with ease.
