I just recently traded into a EDC with 154 CM blade. It was LNIB, and I am extremely pleased with the EDC. Camillus is offering some very nice blades at reasonable prices. I do have a couple of questions about it. What type of material is being used for the pivot washers? And what type and sizes are the screws holding this baby together? I may want to tune the pivot just a bit to my liking.

Big D,
Glad you got an EDC! The pivot washers are teflon. The screws have a all allen head. I don't have the size allen head's handy, but that should be easy to accomodate. If you need any further help, let me know. GLad to have you as a customer!
 
Will,

Did you switch screws on the EDC or is just the pivot screw an allen screw?

I recall reading that the screws were a T6 --number 6 torx screw. I cannot look right now becase my EDC is no longer my EDC (Every Day Carry.) The clip got sprung--I assume it got caught on something, even if I did not notice. Thus, until I find a T6 driver and adjust the clip I am not carrying it. I wouldn't want to forget,and clip it to my pocket, only to have it fall off.

I did stop in at a Sears, but this mid-sized one did not have a T6 driver. They said they would try to order a couple to have on hand as someone else asked the same week that I did. Perhaps he had an EDC to. Other places such as Home Depot do not go down this small.

I know Camillus would adjust the clip, but if it is going to be an EDC I would prefer to be able to do it myself. I do not believe I could properly adjust the clip back into position without removing it.

I do have the 154CM model and think it is great! :D I do not, however, believe that an EDC should use screws that are so difficult for the user to adjust. One can not send in an EDC everytime the clip gets caught on something. :rolleyes:

Thanks for your attention.

Donald.
 
Donald,
I am sure that in a place the size of Miami, you can find a T-6 :)

Sears CATALOG is a great place to start, also AG Russell sells a lot of Wiha brand microscrewdrivers.

MSC Supply also has a lot to pick from.
