Can anyone tell me what is the function of this pin connecting the right side bolsters. It is 1.4mm diameter and the space between the bolsters is 5.4mm. I have attached a photo for the knife and a photo of the pin and bolsters.
Thanks!

Lanyard attachment possibly. It never touches the tang so not a stop pin? I cannt find it mentioned on SMKW or CKW or any retailer
 
It acts as a stop pin for the secondary blade, and could be used to attach a fob or lanyard.

Correction: On closer examination it does not act as a stop pin, the end of the spring is cut to extend under the pin. I guess we're stuck with lanyard/fob attachment point.
