Blade play of my new Carnivour

I have two Carnivours, both have the standard "tin-roof" blades. Both had a little play in them (up & down in open position)when they first arrived, and I almost sent them back.
Anyway, as I played with them, they "wore-in" somehow.
Each actually tightened up with initial use (50-100 cycles).
Must be a characteristic of the "rolling lock" cam action.
Anyway, play with it for awhile and see if it get's better-mine did.

From a manfacture this is never said. Snap the bad mother open ten to fifteen times and set the lock. I start with the blade at 90 degrees and wham. That usualy sets the lock.
If that dosn't work let us know.

Ted,
Something is wrong.
Mine lock up like a safe.
Get a hold of Christina or Bob at REKAT. They are good people.

BTW: The clip is off both knives. I hate those things anyway.
Have you tried tightening the pivot pins ?
