lil' bit o blade play

[hardheart]

I traded for a Nightvision about a month ago. The knife is in excellent condition, looks new, in fact. But there is a tiny bit of vertical play in the blade, you have to flex it by hand to feel it. I see that the lock pin is all the way forward in the slot and has no additional room for wear. Is this proper execution of the design? I'd like to eliminate the wobble, but I see no way to adjust it.

Hi Hardheart,

The Night Vision is my EDC. It's one stunning knife!

Regarding your wobble (that would be "blade" wobble), I just checked mine and it has just a smidge of movement (maybe about less than one mm at the tip). This amount can be considered normal. With this, there is no safety concern and the lock is stable.

Of course, as with any of our products at any time, if something just doesn't feel right, we'd be more than happy to evaluate it and make any adjustments needed to make it right. If you want us to look it over, here's our return instructions.

Let me know if you have further questions or comments.

Good enough for me, thanks.
