I’d been on the fence about this knife as the pivot was alway that ugly (to me) spiral design. I always thought it made it look cheap. Finally after 3 years of it being on my list I decided to buy it. When it arrived I was surprised to see that they’ve switched to a clean plain pivot. So much nicer looking. S35VN is one of my favorite steels to carry & sharpen. Oddly enough BladeHQ still uses the old photo of the original pivot in their listings.
Figured I’d add a few comparison pics for anyone interested.
