Not sure if it’s the right section to put this but im going to ask away anyway!

I noticed the my ZT 0456 has a somewhat peculiar behaviour. Other than a perfect fit and finish, when i unlock the blade with the lockbar all the way to the left so it would not touched the blade anymore, there’s a rattling sound from the blade and it has a small noticeable horizontal blade play. But when the lockbar is back in contact with the blade, the play disappears both on lockup (solid lockup) and folded shut. It is perfectly functional once the lockbar came back in contact.


Is it something i should be concerned about? The knife has not been disassembled ever and i have touch the pivot. It is on bearings, my other knives on bearings doesn’t behave that way though.

Yeah you can tighten the pivot up until that goes away. It's nothing to be concerned about though.
