Para 2 Blade Play

No blade play what-so-ever! However, the lock is a little bit of a pain, it hurts my index finger after a little while. No big deal, I absolutely love this knife.

Yep. The last nudge of the lock to free up the blade to close it has to be very purposeful. Mine is this way also. I rather like it though. Seems it would make it less likely to close on fingers by accident when its hard to close the blade when you want to most of the time. Noticeable diff between closing the older model vs the newer one I agree.

Based on my P2 model I don't even understand the need to ask about blade play really. You guys must have a lot more than my example is all I can figure because I see nothing to worry over here.

Steve,

I've noticed that a recently purchased M2 (which I believe shares the identical bushing pivot as the PM2) had far less blade play than one of the earlier sprint runs which I bought when the M2 first came out.

I'm guessing there's some degree of variation in the bushing tolerences (as you might expect on production models). You must indeed have gotten 'lucky' my friend!;)


The play can be eliminated using the same method as for the Manix 2. I think Vashash posted a tutorial of sorts, along with drawings, in SF.

And yes, everyone, it will void your warranty.. :D

Had a real fun time finding that. But I did, and my hard work is to be shared:
