so a while back I got a new spyderco Delica 4. I just recently noticed it had back and forth blade play and was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if so how did you fix this and if you can fix this problem????:confused:
 
If its horizontal (left right) play, you can tighten the pivot just a teeny bit. Tight enough to remove the wiggle, but not so tight as to affect blade deployment. You have to use the correct Torx bit, which can be bought for cheap at Home Depot, etc. Adding a drop of Loc-tite to the pivot screw threads prior to tightening will keep it from loosening up in the future.
 
If you mean vertical play, there's really not much that can be done on a back-lock knife.
 
It's typical of lock backs to develop up/down blade play. It does not make the knife less safe. Enjoy your Delica!
 
on lock back knives Left to right blade play comes normal after prolonged use. but vertical blade play shouldn't exist in a brand new knife, if tightening the pivot doesn't work, ring up Spyderco and see what they can do.
 
yeah, its kind of in the design to have a little movement up and down but if you feel its too much contact spyderco.
