Modifying and maintaining a BM30

[BaliLover]

I have a BM 30 that is one of my daily users. the handles are a little knicked up and they are wobbly. The handles fail the test because you can push the latch outside of the opposite handles. I would like to have the handles tightened up but I would also LOVE to have the holes counter sunk. Is there anyone who can do this?

Also, if I send the bali back to BM how would they tighten the handles?

pressure; the application thereof.

or you could personally take a hammer or a vice to it, if you trust yourself that much

When you talk about handles being "loose" is that whith the latch locked? Or is it the free play in the handles when the knife is opened but not latched?

Thanks,

No, it latches fine but it fails the alignment test. I can push the latch on the outside of the opposite handle. The amount of wobble prevents me from getting a good flip on the static throw. If I lay the knife open on a table, then lift on of the handles, I can lift it a little more than 1/4" off of the table while the other one is still flat.
