It may be just a simple improvement to the old one. I owned one PT with a bad pivot that was replaced because the threads on the male part stripped. I've since seen two others for this so maybe they just had some problems with that and decided it was time to fix it.
That new warranty is basically like just about like saying no warranty at all because if they see one rounded off corner from wear whether you did or not they can use it as an out to just say the hell with it. So I guess if you even polish the edge on it or sharpen it yourself they can void the warranty then?
Its going to suck for some that like to take their knives apart. All but one of the six Strider folders I've owned needed lock adjustments from vertical blade play developing. This was simply because the lock was set weaker for spring action than it maybe should have been and probably because the locks stuck and binded so when newer so they were set weaker to make them easier to disengage and use. Once broke in though they started this up and down clicking from the lock not having enough spring tension to continue to self correct for wear. I've seen it before with liner and frame locks across the board. Not usually a big deal to fix yourself if you can take it apart.
Now it may be a different story. That may be a good thing though because some people are all thumbs and just make things worse. What would fry my noodle is if I sent my old style model in for a spa treatment and notice they stuck the new pivot in it for the return trip? It does not sound like this tool is going to be made available by Strider.
