My Starmate has a little vertical blade play.
It was like that when I bought it from the store a few months ago, and I accept small imperfections like this. Tightening the pivot pin doesn't help. It passes the spine-whack test and I'm going to leave it for now. It should be just fine.
BUT, I may want to adjust it in the future.
Has anybody successfully adjusted the eccentric pivot pin on a Spyderco knife? I know that officially it should be send in to Spyderco for adjustment, but I might want to do it myself, if possible. I'm not one to take my knives apart gratuitously, but I'd like to know how to do this.
I recall a older posting about this, with Sal replying that it's best done by the factory with their special tools. Still, I'd like to hear what experiences others have had
adjusting the eccentric pivot pin. Thanks.
