Fwiw @ Mike45ACP, on your black bladed PM2 w/CF scale. The pivot screw is loose. You know that. You probably set it that way. The edge of the screw shows above the scale. It's not tightened down. A lot of folks adjust the blade 'action' by loosening the pivot screws a bit to have the blade deploy freely. I'll tell you right now the factory doesn't always do this right, or the user feels the need to readjust when the blade doesn't deploy freely. It took me a while to figure it out but the truth is... The PM2 IS an amazing knife when properly adjusted. The blade can be perfectly centered (as a matter of fact you need to have it this way), and then the pivot screws can both be entirely torqued down to the max, and the blade will still fall freely from an open or closed position when the compression lock is engaged. The stop pin screws should be firmly tight (not loose, not tight), after the pivot screws are set (when the blade is perfectly centered), with the back screws being the last to be tightly closed down when all else is done. fwiw. Had my own pivot screws set like yours until I needed to figure it out to get the blade perfectly centered. The factory centering was way off.
