Citadel lock-up

[jill jackson]

I traded for a Citadel 92mm and I love the knife, but it has a tiny bit of what I call vertical rock in the blade when locked open.(the man I traded with told me before we traded, but I have seen autos with side to side play that can be fixed by tweaking the pivot pin and thought it was side to side) I'm not unhappy with the knife and I understand it has a entirely different locking system than other Spyderco's. (in other words I'm not at all unhappy but are all them like that?)

The knowledge base is likely limited on this one Jill. Spyderco only allows sales to LEOs, etc. for autos. So many knife afis lack first hand knowledge of Spyderco autos. If ya don't get the info from this thread, a new one in the Auto section, or perhaps a call to Spyderco customer service will help ya.

Thanks, I suppose you are right and I'd be better off just calling Spyderco and asking.

I don't suppose the blade stop is adjustable.

Some autos have an eccentric pin or a hex-head blade stop.

I think that there is a sub-forum on the Spyderco forums dealing with the butterfly knives and autos. You might get a better response there. Here's the link to the sub-forum:

After reading their rules I don't know if I should even post about having a Citadel there. Even though there's no law in Kentucky making the ownership of auto's illegal. (they are considered a deadly weapon and can be openly carried, as long as they aren't concealed and with a concealed carry permit can be carried concealed, I see cheap and moderately priced auto's openly for sale at local flea markets- contrastingly the next State over from me, Indiana they are illegal to own )
If I ever needed to send it in for repair they couldn't send it back to me. I'll probably just keep it in my collection and not worry about it too much!
