A minor point, Sonnydaze, I 'gave' what I hoped would be helpful hints. They were learned from previous experiences with Benchmades and Zero Tolerance knives. I likened the HEST to CR knives, too - sort of. They never, if my StarTac 'zaan and plain small Sebbie are indicative, need adjustments 'out of the box'. I guess the HEST is closer to ZTs on that matter. The SR-1 Ti, if my Blade Show purchase is representative, is more CR knife like - as it should be for the price.
Of course, a ball bearing race, a la my ZT 0561, takes pivot screw tightness out of the equation, for the most part.
