Hey guys, this can apply to any knife but I have an 0640, and was going to take the knife down to clean it when the captive pivot on the lock side started spinning.
I cut a notch into the flat face like I have before on other knives and finally got it out that way, but went to put it back together and I think I cross threaded the pivot accidentally. I went to torque it down thinking it was where it needed to be and after I did the knife was still pulling apart. So I took it back out and tried the screw by itself and sure enough it hits one spot and won't tighten completely.
Anyway my plan is, I just put in a warranty part request for a pivot with ZT, but I'm not even sure if it's the right one. It said "pivot bolt" under free replacement parts. Every knife on their lost said "pivot set" except for the 0640, which said pivot bolt. So I'm hoping that's still the pivot set. Anyhow, I want to get scales made for it anyway since the CF I have is apparently rounded out now and won't hold a new pivot regardless.
Any of you guys had this problem with the 0640 or any other knife? And what did you do. I know this is mostly my mess up but you live and you learn lol im not too mad about it since I did it.
