On my kit, my bolster does not sit flush. How do I fix this?

From time to time, the counter bore on the liner side of the bolster will not be deep enough. This is a tolerance situation that is just part of the casting process. The fix for this situation is to grind a little off the pivot screw head, allowing the bolster to go all the way down to the liner. A bit of modification here, if you find this to be true, will allow it to fit flush.

Kits are just that. We want you to have to think a little and make some changes to raise your level of knife making ability. We feel that the hidden pivot screw is worth the a little extra effort.
