My knife fell out of my pocket today and now I'm having problems with the flipper. It was real smooth before now it's tight and ripping the sh!t out of my index finger. Is there anything to do to remedy this? Thanks!
 
When it's open it bends to the right more so, but as far as I can remember it always did that. Closed it looks bent a lil...
 
Is this the M16 ?, either way, it sounds like it could be the pivot pin, possibly knocked out of alignment, or somehow the whole knife has shifted slightly, It's hard to tell by not seeing, but with the close tolerances I have seen on these lately, I don't see how they could move that much within the screw and pivot holes, but it's possible it has been knocked off a fraction, either in blade pivot or somewhere else, I would strip it down and look everything over for any bent places, (highly unlikely), then rebuild and adjust blade in center of handles and liner lock, before tightening pivot screw maximum tightness, sometimes they have to be manipulated a little to get in perfect alignment.

It's actually an M-21...this sucks. The same thing happened with my M-16 EDC.
 
Never heard of this happening, I just bought 2 M 16s, carbon fiber handles and they are perfect ????

Hi NRG,

but with your pocket???
