Awesome knife. I like seeing it with all that character.

If you were so inclined, you can tighten up swinden easily. Use a hard rubber or plastic hammer to smack the end of the bolsters, which bend it tighter to the blades and remove or really help with wobble. It sounds crude but really works well and doesn't beat up the knife if done carefully. I put tape on the bolsters and lay the knife on a piece of wood on top of an anvil. Smack and check, if it gets too tight that may be a problem. :eek:

I've considered tightening it up like that, but the main clip blade has been sharpened so often & shortened to the point that the tip rides above the scales & liners when closed, so I'll give it a well deserved rest.
