I saw one of the Benchmade reps say that they obscure the pivot so that customers don't mess with it. Apparently if you loosesn it too much the assist spring pops out and stops working. When I bought my 710 and Griptilian they didn't come with loctite so the pivot loosened up on the first day. Do the assist knives have loctite? The first thing I do when I get a knife is put loctite on the pivot but I don't want to mess with the spring.
 
The assisted knives and any knife with an internal pivot screw should have red loctite on the pivot. These are permanently adjusted from the factory. All other knives should have blue loctite on the pivot which allows the user to adjust to preference.
