Well as you all know I think the para is probably the best edc I have bought to date. And this is saying alot. But today I detected a bit of up and down blade play, almost like the compression lock is moving a bit. Can't tell if it is or not but could be, hence the vertical play. Any self remedy to this? Can't seem to adjust it out. I am thinking a pivot stop pin slightly bigger in cirucmferance. So what's the deal here, any help is appreciated. keepem sharp
 
Call up Spyderco and send it to them to take apart and fix. It has happened on occassion with the compression lock.

hi longbow, i just posted the same problem at the spyderco forum as well as this one. i got off the phone with amanda at spyderco and asked her about the vertical blade play and she said while a few paras have them it is not an acceptable thing. of course i could send it back to spyderco but instead i am sending it back to new graham knives were i purchased it. i have delt with them before and while i have never returned anything to them their reputation is a good one so i am not concerned. the lock up on the knife was not compromised in the least but the up and down just kills the knife for me. i am going to find one that is solid eventually as it is a great little knife. hi.
