Most folders use t9 for pivot and t6 for everything else.

I just checked them. Screws for pocket clip and scales are T6, and the pivot screw is T8.

Several of my folders also use T10 for the pivot.

I believe you are correct.

While a T8 works on the pivot, it's actually a T10. Body screws are T6.

I would just pick up a T6, T8, and T10 because those are the standard sizes that most knives use.

I just tried a t10 is didnt work, to big.
im 100% sure its t8 pivot and t6 body

I got a t6 an the screws are fine but the actual torx tip srtiped an is all round now. Is it i just got sum really crapy torx or am i just a idiot.

Use pressure when you turn the torx. Make sure the bit doesn't slip or that will happen.

Home Depot sells a nice Torx set with a bunch of bits, cheep. Ihave one in my shop and one in house.

Well that's strange because I'm 100% sure that it's a T10.

All of my other Kershaws are T6 with a T8 pivot. But the Skyline is a T10 pivot.

It's very possible that Kershaw has used two different pivot screws over the course of production.

The 2 I have are t-10 on the pivot. Looks like there could be 2 different size pivots used on the Skylines.

If you can get the kit from Home Depot as gull wing suggested, you'll probably have the right size.

Thanks NRaiano, looks good, think I'll get that. Can't have too many tools, (like knives.)
