Need opinion which way to go on the blade stop pin.

Could you take one unmodified version of the blade and the modified version insert both into the same depth of a vice and see which fails first and where, that is still not scientific but may demonstrate the point you are trying to make well.

There is simple science like level action that is HS physics that I don't need to ruin 2 knives to prove a point.

Personally I thought the best solution would have been to thin out the liners at the stop pin. You wouldn't need to make perfectly square holes to the exact dimension of the pin for it to function properly. I think you could have just sanded or filed the whole section around the pin flat. But I understand that you probably wanted it to look normal and so that's why you avoided doing that. It may have also reduced the strength of the liners and introduced some flex, maybe?

Never mind. Disregard this.

That would be my last resort, it's not easy. I do have diamond stone, but it's tedious work.
