It’s kinda amazing how much we take for granted the smoothness of pivots nowadays. Pinned construction had to be worked or lapped looser; it also happened naturally with use and time. I remember when companies were still figuring out detent type and tension on flippers. Remember the first ever Benchmade axis lock flipper? Oof that one was bad. Kershaw/ZT were some of the first, as I recall, to get it right and then more of the industry followed suit haha.
