I have Enlan, and it is one of the good folding knife brands in China~~~

You can get some information about the pivot screw
from the dealer who you bought the knife from

I EDC El02:)

Maybe Dremel a slot into it so you can get at it with a screwdriver. They used to have a 3 hole pattern that you could jury rig a paper clip to fit 2 of the holes enough to adjust.
 
Get ya some of the putty type epoxy that they use for fixing cracked engine blocks. Mix up a small amount and form it into a little tool or handle and form the end so its flattened and enough to impress into the pivot head after you smear a small dab or light film of vasoline on the head all around and down in the slots. Set the end for your tool where you flattened it in there and impress the putty into the pivot and hold it until it sets up. Once hard you have a tool to use now to adjust the pivot.
 
thanx for the replies. i emailed the company a while back when i got knife to ask about the pivot. no replies from them yet and that was a month ago. I need to buy a dremel, that sounds like a good idea to cut slot for screwdriver.

That STR is a smart fella!!:thumbup::)
 
If the OP hasn't created his own tool, the tool to get is this:
