Haaaalp!

so I'm frustrated. My Zing has the spinning pivot syndrome, which wouldn't be a problem, but as it came adjusted from the factory, the blade is sitting against the inside liner and scrapes when you close it! it opens just fine, but this is bothering me.

What's weird is the zing has the hex pivot backing, and it's still spinning the pivot. How do I break the almighty loctite seal (without damaging the rear scale by spinning the pivot in the G10?)

any advice would be greatly appreciated

I don't mean to be contrary here, but if the pivot is hex-headed and the head is recessed into the handle, how is it spinning?

Has the pivot shaft snapped off from the head? If so, then it needs to be sent in for repair...

Or, have the corners of the hex recess in the handle become rounded off so it can now spin? If that's the case, it still sounds like cause for repair...

Otherwise, I'm afraid I just don't understand...of course, I am old and senile...

ray,
i think what may have happened from his initial description is that the cutout portion of the polyamide handles that create the recess for the hex backing have been rounded by the spinning of the pivot. sort of like rounding an allen screw in reverse.

in which case, i would probably recommend it be sent in.
