First I just want to say I love my ZT's and Kershaw's :thumbup: Never had a problem and I don't know if this is an issue or not but my ZT 561 ser # 2142 has a little bit of detent play when closed. Should I be concerned about this? I know I could send it in for ZT's renowned CS but the knife is perfect every other way:confused: What would you fine folk's do?

Thanks, Justin
 
If it bothers you, send it in. If you see it as no big deal, ignore it. It isn't a common situation I have heard about so idk any common fixes for it.
 
I had some detent play in my 0777, it's not an issue but if it bothers you send in it and ZT will take care of you.
 
I'm gonna live with it, it's not bad imo. I just didn't want that big ole blade filleting my leg:thumbup: Since it has a nice stout detent otherwise I would consider it a non issue unless it gets worse. Thanks for your help all.
 
I felt that the detente on my 561 was too soft, which made it more difficult to flip, so I sent it in and got it back with a perfectly adjusted detente.
 
Jwolf, if it was the same play that I experienced I sent mine in and ZT sent out a brand new one-FYI
 
Thanks guy's maybe I will after all just to experience the great CS everyone talks about.
