Does microtech ever use locktite?

[sogflash]

I've seen some youtube videos of microtech knives with screws loosening.

I have a socom elite and there was no locktite used on the pivot screw. I unscrewed it with my finger, it was that loose.

Have anybody else noticed this? I'm worried that the body screws might loosen when I use the knife. It's especially annoying because they use their own screw heads.

They used loc tite when they repaired the knife i took back for loose handle scows. (ultra tech)

My Whaleshark's pivot can be unscrewed with thumb pressure as well but the lockup is solid, not sure why that is.

My socom elite pivot kept coming loose so I put some of the weaker locktite on it. As there is nothing putting any torque on the frame screws they shouldn't need any locktite.
