Para Mili question

[Bonescraper]

When I picked it up last week, It was centered perfect, For some reason since, It has become off center, leaning more towards the non clip side. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this. Thanks!

is it loose at the pivot? with the blade open, hold the tip and see if you get any side to side movement. A tiny tiny bit is normal, but anything more needs to be tightened out with a T-8 torx bit.

that's what I would check first. otherwise, there are some techniques (which I don't know) to getting the blade centered (usually involving taking apart and putting back together your knfe)

Ya I bet its the pivot that is loose. I had a loose pivot screw on one of my para's. That can be quickly remedied by adding a touch of blue loc-tite. It should stay centered and not move.

My para, when closed, is slightly off centered. I dont worry about it as I dont feel it affects performance at all. I did have issues with bladeplay that were fixed by tightening a couple of the screws with blue loctite, as jesse mentioned. The blade is still slightly off center, but again, I dont think it has any negative bearing on the knife.

I also believe strider addresses this issue on their FAQ section on their warranty. They stated that it is nothing to worry about. But if it really bothers you, that is a different story.

No blade play in any direction, and unfortunately, The pivot screw has been stripped, 1st time I went to tighten it, worked fine, 2nd time, stripped right away. Any size bit I use will not work. I've noticed this on many of my spydercos, very easy to strip the screws. Guess it's back to the factory for this one :\
