Stop Pin Rattle

[mmyron1]

I know it's a thing on Emersons and it is supposed to be intentional on them. But I recently noticed it on my Ritter and other folders as well. The ones I use the most really. Is this something to worry about on knives other than Emerson and is there a way to stop it? Just annoying honestly for my knife to rattle when closed.

Try turning the pin just a little bit.

I don't have an Emerson to look at the design, but generally you can just put grease in the holes or dab the ends of the pin next time it's apart and be good.

I had it on a few knives, including a hinderer. I put a tiny bit of weak loctite on each end and it's been rattle free ever since.

Good luck!

I was going to suggest this as well, a little grease stops the pin rattle on CRK’s when you remove the lanyards so I’d say it would probably work here also

A drop of mineral oil can do it too, if you don’t want to disassemble.

Thanks. I give it a shot. Doesn't seem to bother anything other than my OCD.
