What about a blade that's too loose?

I just got a Kris that has some lateral blade play. Not alot...but enough to annoy me, especially since the knife was sold to me as new. If I shake the knife when closed I can acrually hear the blade taping from side to side. Is this normal? Can it be tightened?

It was you!

Don't worry about that, most of us who deal on ebay get some not so pretty knives sometimes, but I guess that's the biggest problem with buying knives that have been discontinued for some time, it's extremely hardt to find the "Factory Fresh" knives.

Heck the micro dyad I bought (the cheapest one ...

Didn't mean to breach etiquette.

I was just kidding about "anyone interested in buying". I hope my last message was taken as I intended - humorous sacasm. Didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm just a little pissed at myself for not looking more carefully at the picture before bidding. I guess that's the problem with a last minute ...

OK...and the number is...

It's #356. Thanks for all your input. WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN A VERY RARE GREEN LUM WITH A UNIQUE ENGRAVING ERROR? I know when the US Mint has a double struck penny the value for that rare mistake can be hundreds of dollars. Then of course ther is the Inverted Jennie, the upside down bi-plane ...

Why am I hidding the #?

I just thought that until I know if I'm dealing with an authentic knife I didn't think it was cool to identify who the seller was. But if it helps get to the bottom of the mystery I can give it up. What does this look like to you?

"Walk Away" Video Clip

I recently came across an online video clip made by some of our troops in Iraq, in their spare time. It was a series of hand to hand combat/knife defense scenarios....very serious techniques, with a humurous spin. At the conclusion of each vignette, the narrators final statement was, "Walk Away ...

How many of you study martial arts?

Along the lines of a thread started by Michael Bolton, inquiring about the professions of forum members, I'm curious if our interest in knives also extends into the fighting arts. What do you study? I'm into a little of everything but my foundation is Zujitsu, a blend of Goju Karate/Vee Arnis ...

I Love Spyderco!

I really do! I buy them...I use the...and sometimes, unfortunately, I loose them. My favorite is my cricket money clip which I've carried every day for over 10 years, (except when I fly post 9/11). :spyder:
