They actually rotate with the blade as the blade opens. I've tightened the pivot screw, and am considering applying loctite, but this shouldn't be happening in a $400 knife. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and what the causes might be.
 
Never heard of that...

Is the pivot tightened all the way down? If not, when you tighten it all the way and then open the blade does it still rotate? I understand the action will be very stiff, just trying to get an idea of what's going on.
 
If I tighten the pivot a lot it stops, but only when I tighten it to the point where it's hard to open the blade.
