should I send my Wegner back?

[tweible]

The liner lock on my wegner slides all the way to the opposite side when opened. I have read that it should lock up half to 3/4 of the way across instead.

Should I send the knife to Spyderco for adjusting/repair?

thank you,
Todd

I would send it to Spyderco for adjustment.I have both the small and large plain edge models and both stop about half way over on lock up.If yours goes all the way over it isn't leaving any room for wear and it could fail.The Spyderco folks will have it up and fixed for you in no time.

Todd - If the knife has vertical play, you'll have to send it back. If it doesn't have any vertical play, I wouldn't worry about it.

Sorry to be so uneducated Sal, but which way is vertical with regard to a knife?

Is it the direction which it normally opens? and side ways play would be horizontal?

thanks,
todd

Todd - correct. The ramp is a self adjustment feature to compensate for wear on the liner.
