This will be a mulit-part question. 
First, do you carry it tip up or down??
Second, do you carry left side or right??
Here's my problem. I wanted the Vesuvius to be my left side knife. The day I received it(Thanks Sharp1) I positioned it left pocket, tip up. The way I've been carrying a Delica for 5 years or so. Anyways, I poked a small hole in a knuckle, because the blade had opened alittle. So I tightened up the pivot a few small turns, and tried again. The second poke I moved it to right side.
The Compression lock doesn't seem to hold the blade flush with the handle. I can pull the blade out slightly, then it hits a bump/delay/snag, and then comes all the way out. Is it just the way the lock is, or should I be able to tighten it more so it will stay flush with the handle? Any help will be appreciated!! Thanks.
