Hi, everybody, this is my first post. First, a quick thanks to all the people who post here. I have been so busy reading all the great info here and trying to absorb it that I haven't had time to post. Anyway, I have a question regarding the CRKT Crawford Kasper Folder. I recently purchased the small combo edge, and liked it so much I purchased the large plain edge model as well. My question involves blade play. The small model is rock solid, both with and without the LAWKS engaged. The large model, however, has just the tiniest amount of blade play-- when open, I can vigourously grasp it at the tip and feel, but not see, a bit of blade movement-- it't that slight. Is it normal to be able to induce a minor amount of blade play by hand with vigorous pressure? This only occurs when i really try hard to move the blade; otherwise, it is very solid. I tried adjusting the blade pivot torx fastener, but even a tiny bit of tightening makes the blade extermely stiff to open. I feel like I am just nit-picking, but wonder if this is something normal or if it is worth sending the knife back to CRKT. Is this blade play just the result of the size of the large model? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
