Do the older Bucklites like the 422, for example, have any sort of washers for the blade or does it just pivot between the plastic of the scales? For nostalgic reasons I just purchased a 422 from 1989 to replace the one I lost 17 years ago. The blade is still nice and tight with no side to side play.

It's exactly like my old one except no scars on the scales where I dropped it down the garbage disposal while cleaning a trout. Yeah, seeing that thing spin around blade up in the sink was a little scary
. I gutted by first buck and many a fish with that old knife. Had to get another one!
