Right, that is the part I’m talking about. The D-shaped piece. For some reason it gets stuck when I try to put it back in. And i am aligning the piece to the cutout. I don’t know if you experienced that issue when reassembling yours.
Disassembly pics?

Yes, it has four washers for some reason. And oddly, it had three on one side and only one on the other.
Sounds odd, but at this point I’ll try anything.
It is, I may try to put two on each side. See how it does

If I understand you correctly, the pivot (circled) has a flat side that needs to mate with the flat spot on the lockbar scale (arrow). The flat sppot (key) on the scale is oriented not quite 6 o’clock (5:30-ish)
Reassemble from the show scale up.
Rear standoffs —> pivot —> stop pin —> large washers (phosphor bronze against blade) —> blade —> small washers.
When it’s time to drop on the clip-side scale, mate the flat spot of the pivot with the key in the scale then rotate the scale to align with the stop pin and standoffs. Alternatively, you can put the scales into alignment first, then rotate the pivot until it falls into the clip-scale key.
I hope that makes sense. Good luck.

Ok, just catching up on intervening posts.
So the pivot won’t mate at all with the key in the scale? Even dry (without the blade and washers)?
Also, I don’t remember the washers being positioned 3:1. I’m going to go tear down my Drifter to check it out.

Great knife. Thin washers though. Seems like the overly radiused tang lockface will result in lockslip eventually like happened with the old striders. This is the HEST 2.0 and they claim they have eliminated the lockslip problem by having the lockbar lockface at an angle. Don’t know why they couldn’t just change the tang lockface.
I leave the black mark on the tang lockface which is the worn titanium from the lockbar face. This seems to prevent the lock from really wearing anymore. (A little trick, try it, it really works) However on some knives leaving too much black worn Ti on the tang lockface will cause lockslip, not so with this knife so hopefully that is a solution.
When I got the knife it had abit of lock creep so when you cut into something you could hear the lock moving slightly further in. Took the knife apart and bent the lockbar in a tiny bit more and that resolved the issue. Overall this is an amazing knife for the price if you work the bugs out. Has a very strideresque feel to it.

My buddy’s Tenatious was so jacked up, I insisted he let me give it a spa treatment.
Look closely. There are two things missing (the most important one I found—thank goodness!).

Stop pin (found) and a scale screw (somehow vaporized to another dimention)
ETA found the screw 6 weeks later; somehow it made it into an open package of cleaning swaths...

Nope, this thing won’t mate at all. I’ve tried with the blade and without. I have no clue what I am doing wrong, but I feel pretty damn dumb right now. So it won’t go in the full way correct? Mine goes maybe a third of the way in and jams up.
Well I have figured it out, while I’m too ashamed to say why it wasn’t working, your pictures helped me figure out my horrible mistake. But I’m sure you can guess my boneheaded mistake, lol Thank you!

Here are pix of the 30yr. BCCI Anniversary knife. It is made out of Aluminum and has interchangeable handle slabs. The knife is held together permanently by a rivet rocker pivot. The T-nut that holds the blade is immobilized by an octagonal head which sits in an octagonal recess in the right handle. The tailpiece T-nuts are immobilized by slabs which key into D holes in the spring holder. Be sure to point the rocker down before reassembly.
