Kershaw STP Pivot Tool (STPTOOL)

Description

The Kershaw STP Pivot Tool (STPTOOL) is an essential accessory for owners of the Kershaw Flythrough (model 1988) and the Zero Tolerance 0609 pocketknives. Both of these distinctive knives feature RJ Martin’s “See-Through Pivot (STP),” an oversized, hollow pivot mechanism that gives them their unique aesthetic. Unlike standard knife pivots, the STP cannot be adjusted with common hex or Torx tools. Recognizing the natural desire of knife enthusiasts to customize and maintain their gear, Kershaw developed this specialized tool to meet that exact need. The STP Pivot Tool enables precise adjustment of the STP, allowing you to fine-tune the tension of your knife’s blade. Whether you prefer a looser, faster deployment or a tighter, more controlled feel, this tool empowers you to achieve your desired blade action.

• Precision Fit: Engineered with exact specifications to seamlessly engage with the STP, ensuring effective and secure adjustments without damaging the pivot.
• Built for Longevity: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel and treated with a titanium carbo-nitride coating, offering enhanced resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring the tool’s durability for repeated use.
