Folks really don't need to take these knives apart any where as much as folks do.
Haven't had mine apart in 5+ years.

This. Especially since most look like they have never been used in the first place.

Mine has been a EDC for the last 15 years-

It has been used from dressing game to scraping head gaskets.
This BG-42 blade, LR reg Sebby is one of my favorite tools!
When mine gets gunk'd up. I flush it with brake cleaner and put a drop of whatever oil I have handy on the pivot area.

Honestly, stuff like this is why I nearly always pass on pre-owned Sebenzas, unless I'm buying from a dealer with a no-questions-asked return policy.

"stuff like this"-Like WHAT?

It's a tough and well built knife, that gets used as the tool it is.
Mine will NEVER be sold-It was a gift from my kids.

Stuff like people modifying, with hand tools and by-guess-and-by-golly, the fit of parts that were originally finished and fitted to very close tolerances at the factory.

Its good decision.

I'd just send it in for repair. Something's not right so let CRK deal with it.

Now that you are more specific with your remark-I agree 110%.

Exactly.

Guys...the knife is fixed and being used. There is no guess work going on as jnewell indicated...if something is too tight and you sand off a tiny amount that is more called common sense. Saved me close to $100 on shipping as well(international shipping)

If all fails you can always send it back to CRK
