Ok guys so i bought a sebenza on here and the problem is I'm getting very slight blade wiggle not bad just ticks me off so what happens is sometimes i get blade wiggle then i close the blade and open it and then the wiggle is gone :confused:
What am thinking is that the bushing is messed up and the bushing has play when i wiggle it when the bushing is in the blade and blade is out of the handles idk if thats how its spouse to be like that or not but I'm thinking its not plus there is a lot of blade circles on the bushing.

Sounds like that one needs a trip to the mothership.

Unfortunately your out of luck on that one. When a CRK is modified its no longer warrantied. Is this a recent purchase on BF?

Yes it is and i also sanded the bushing down cause i thought it was too long but no luck still was there and i got a stiffer action...

Oooh, yea don't sand anymore bushings buddy. The tolerance are so tightly fitted they shouldn't be messed with. Now your washers are too thick for your bushing length.

Well if the damage wasn't done to begin with it is now. Next time send the knife back to the seller if it isn't as described. Is the knife still safely usable?
 
Perhaps crk will fit a new blade for you. The one you have now is acid-washed, correct? I'm not sure crk will touch it but if they will a new blade will run $135 plus shipping.

The knife is perfect I'm just nit picking here but for a 400+ knife it should bee perfect.. and there is no Play its just wiggle like you have to firmly wiggle the blade to feel it and its not there always..

Gotcha, well I've never had a CRK with any form of blade play so I see why your upset.
 
And whats funny is i literally maid a thread asking if there is a way of fixing the knife if i got bushings/washer problem and right when i got the knife and started to clean it and assemble it walla exactly what i was not looking for!

Definitely worth a call... If the blade is the only modified part thy may fit a new blade, bushing and washers. Tell them the bushing is shot and they will also fit new washers to the new blade. The blade plus shipping both ways will run about $160.
Let us know what they say!
