opinel pivot pin

[davek14]

Anyone know what an Opinel pivot pin is made of? I had one peened on both ends and boogered it up getting it out. I may need to replace it.

I'm virtually certain all of the hardware is stainless steel (pin, ferrule and locking ring). Having said that, a common fix for replacing pivot pins is to use a nail of similar size. I'm sure you could also buy nickel pin stock from knife making outlets (they might carry stainless pin stock too).
