Question? Does the pivot have to go all the way through??

Thinking about the pivot. Does it have to show on both sides of the scales? I'm not sure I've seen a folding knife like that where the screw shows on one side only and the nut side is embedded with the scale of the other.

I was thinking about this the other day... Was kind of wondering it it would just be a real pain in the ass to machine to the tolerances of a normal pivot... Or if it would even be realistic to achieve that and not have centering issues or one of the other many problems poor pivots can have.

I think the precursor to the sebenza had a design somewhat like this.

There are many knives with hidden hardware. Mostly customs.

Its done on folders but on the outside, so im assuming it could be done on the inside.

Most of the Pirahna brand side openers have hidden pivots.

I got to handle one of these the other day. It sort of reminded me of a regular sebenza.
