Would it be better just to return it for a replacement? If the retailer won t help you, I ve found Cold Steel to be very good, the one time I ve contacted them with a problem. They replaced a purchase I made earlier. I had to pay for sending them the knife.
An SR1 that doesn t lock up tight goes against the whole overbuilt concept of the knife. And I don t think a comfortaby opening knife is too much to expect.

After a long wait I finally got mine. It was bought online in the US then shipped to me in Europe. Unfortunatelly it seems I had bad luck with this one despite asking online retailer to check the knife before, which they say they did. Guess not for bladeplay. I own 10+ CS knives with triad-lock and this is the first one that came with vertical blade play and quite a bit of it. Does anyone have similar issue? No way for me to fix this since there must be slight gaps in the lock when opened.

Since it took 2 months to have it shiped to EU by my relatives, I cant return it to the online retailer, so I guess my only option is to send it to Cold Steel directly. I wonder how will that go?...
Did anyone here do any warranty returns from Europe? I guess it will end up another $50 in shipping and possible customs costs. :(

Mine is rock solid in all directions. Have this issue been resolved on yours?
 
To put the end to my story... I received a replacement from Germany based retailer with the assistance of K k-shi from here. Big thanks to all involved. The one I received has no blade play and opens smoothly. That makes Jack a happy boy. ;) Thanks Cold Steel for simplifying this warranty replacement.

P.S. I promise I wont try to switch the pocket clip side . Hehe ;)
 
I'm loving my replacement. It is good in hand and rock solid. The UK dealer was brilliant.
