Boker kalishnikov pivot screw stripped.

First day on the job, cutting through canvas, little to no prying and the pivot screw stripped. The only thing holding the knife together are the screws through the scales. Should I epoxe the screw in and put vice grips on it over night? Never had a problem like this before.

I'd find a old junk knife and swap out the pivot screws.

Should note the aus8 blade held an edge great! Lol

I don't think that'd work on a Kalashnikov because there scales are the liner and the hole for the head of the screw is the exact circumference of the hole in the scale.
