I need help on this one. I bought both Yojimbo and Para Military yesterday and I love them right away. I tried to play with pivot tention since I live in NYC and any thing you can flip easily in invatation for arrest. Normally, I loosened the pivot before tightened it but the new pivot give me major problem. My tox screw eat out the one side of pivot and still can not adjust it. Need help before I sell these two brand new excellent knives for seventy dollars each. I don't want to sell it and I don't care about warranty. I would pay if spyderco can fix it. Any info? I must be able to adjust the pivot.

Please help!!!
 
Why new pivot screws are not as tought as old one sided pivot? Is there any quality difference in steel?
 
I got the same problem with my brand new paramilitary, It's even hard to say if it's allen, philips or torx (it should be allen, as spyderco said but a lot of ppl use torxes as well)

Here's the picture of my para, sorry for bad scan quality:

But still it's an extraordinary knife and my current and future EDC.
