Question about (!) blade play

[Hoss]

Hopefully I can explain the problem I'm having. For the past few months my large sebenza has developed an annoying bit of "play" when I open or close it. This "play" is not side to side but rather back and forth. The only reason I notice it is because of the incredible smoothness of the sebenza's. The "play" is really rather minor, doesn't affect the performance of the knife, lock-up is rock solid but its annoying. I've disassembled it a couple of times, cleaned and lubed everything but still the same problem. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the pivot pin. Any suggestions/opinions? Do I need to send this in to CRK for "tuning" (if so that would be a great time to have my baby engraved). Thanks in advance for any input. Aloha! Thomas

I know exactly what you're talking about, but I'm clueless as to when, where, how and why! My lg. benz has it just a little when the blade is about 3/4 of the way open. Thanks for pointing out something I did'nt know I had.
