i see a handful of 1/4" pivots sold online. i dont have access to a lathe, so i guess ill be buying one.

does anyone know of a source of a larger pivot? is there an extremely precise, hardened fastener not sold as a knife pivot that i should use instead?

and finally- for adjusting the compression on the pivot point, is it fair game to just use a bit of blue loctite and tighten it down to the right compression, or is it necessary to actually size the pivot to the proper inner dimension for the scales/washers/blade

thanks for your patience,

There is little or nothing to be gained by going to a pivot larger than 1/4" in a folder.
