Hello,

I just received a brand new Native 5 in the mail about 30 minutes ago as a companion to my EDC Military. Love the Native but there is some noticeable side to side blade play when the knife is opened and closed. Would tightening the pivot fix this? Also does anyone know what size torx screws the Native uses?
 
Yes.
Tightening the pivot should fix it! Also he pivot is either a T8 or a T10....I think haha!
 
Does your Native gravity drop when you depress the lock?
Tighten the pivot for sure!
 
My brand new Ti Native 5 gravity drops the blade when depressing the lock all the way, but has zero play. Most of my Spydies with 3" or longer 3 and 4 mm blades drop on unlock after I've worn them in and lubed them well, and none have any play. That said, it sounds like Humint needs to tighten the pivot just a bit. Don't overdo it, just take out the play.
