Anyone know how to tighten the pivot on a Yuna knife?

I've had my Yuna for around a month now. I carry it every day and it has broken in very well. However, as it breaks in, it has developed a little side to side play. Nothing serious, but it bothers me anyway. He uses a ying yang pivot and I don't have a tool to tighten it. Anyone have a suggestion? I've emailed Yun about it, but he hasen't gotten back to me. Here is a pic (crappy) of the pivot.

Either a spanner head screwdriver (I don't know what sizes they make) or a watch case wrench:

Might be too big, but just throwing out ideas.
 
You can (very carefully) use a small needle nose plier. You wont need to turn it too much , only a hair.

I love that knife BTW:thumbup:
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking maybe a jewelry shop might have a tool I could use.
 
Yun made me tools for just that problem. One to hold the pivot steady on one side and one to adjust the pivot on the other side. I've had three Yunas with the Yin-Yang pivot and he didn't charge me for the tools.

I also asked for it in an e-mail and he sent it to me. Have patience as he does answer e-mails.

Additional Info: My experience is from 2008-2009 and I know he is much busier now so you may not have the same experience.

Ok thanks. I know Yun takes his time replying to people. And it really isn't a very big deal. I just need some thing like the umnumzaan old pivot tool. I'll email Yun again next week if he doesn't get back to me by then.

That's what I was thinking.

The watch case tool looks to be a more elegant idea though. Rigging up a tool would be the first thing I did if I bought one of those. It's the first thing I did when I got my SnG. If you have a grinder and/or dremel, it shouldn't be too hard to make.
