I love mine, it was the smoothest and least friction to open out of the box. The only ding for me is the difficulty sharpening and maintaining that tanto corner area
There is not a screw head on the stop pin on the side opposite the lockbar because it was designed to be a floating stop pin that allows the titanium scale to move as you tighten or loosen the pivot to your specification...that way there is no blade play like there would be with a fixed stop pin with an adjustable pivot. Also it's cheaper for CRK to not have to get the stop pin tolerances/fit perfect like they have to do on the Sebenza. Some people also prefer the fixed (Sebenza) stop pin because it adds a 3rd point of stability (1-pivot, 2 -back spacer, 3-stop pin).
