I recently purchased a used Gerber Propel Downrange, the tan model with the s30v blade, off a buddy of mine. He was getting rid of it because of some issues he was having with the knife and I figured I'd see if I couldn't fix it.
There's some odd wiggle in the blade. Knowing my buddy he was probably prying something ridiculous with it. Anyway, the blade was wiggling a little forward and back as well as side to side. However, after tightening the main screw the forward and back wiggle has been largely eliminated, however, the side to side still remains. In addition, the manual lock on the knife will not work in the open position, however it works fine in the closed position. I should also point out that the lock was working fine until I tightened the screw.
A little frustrating and I have already emailed Gerber about their product service terms. I just thought some of you fine gentlemen might have some wise words.
