Sal maybe the only one that can answer this.

I have one of the first S30V Militaries that was released. It has a Torx head pivot screw whereas the latest bunch to come out has a Hex head pivot screw. I know Sal has said that the new ones have done away with the eccentric pivot.

Does mine have an ecc. pivot since it has the Torx head, or do all the S30V's have a "standard" pivot?

This has been asked before, but I never saw an answer. Forgive me if I am repeating......
 
I think it does.I have a first run S30V with a torx pivot.

There was a cross over time where we had started using S30V on the C36 and were still using eccentric pivots. We stopped using eccentric pivots early this past summer and the Military's pivot pin changed then to a "D" nut. It actually came about as an improvement in our manufacturing capabilities. The tolerances on parts used in the older Military were tight but we've gotten better. We installed an eccentric pin so the knife could be adjusted for any tolerances that were not absolutely spot-on precise. With recently upgraded machinery (and a really talented crew) in our plant, we're cutting parts to even closer tolerances eliminating the need for adjustment. Probably seems rather strange, but we're getting better at making 'close to perfect parts'.
