Fixing blade centering

[miso2]

Hi all,

This is just to share the info, which was new for me.

I disassembled and cleaned my ZT 0770CF the other day because the flipping action became sticky.
After reassembling it, I realized that the blade was not centered, and it was before the disassembly.

I loosened the pivot screw and tried to adjust the blade position, but to no avail.
I was very unhappy but gave up on it, since it didn’t affect the function at all.

Then after a while I found a description in the web site of Brad Southard, and a similar one in this forum.

I followed Brad’s procedure, loosen up the frame screws, reposition the blade, and tighten the screws again. It worked!
Now the blade is centered, and I am happy.

I am sure that this is nothing new for most of the folks here but thought it might be useful to new members (and someone new to modern tactical knives) like me in this forum.

Yep the secret is leaving the frame screws lose until the end.
