I am sure, the back spacer in mine is in correct. I have to admit, it was not easy, or I was too stupid to find the better way to do it, but it is in just fine on both sides.Ramonade wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 6:09 amMine was doing it upon receival, I made the exact same observations. However, I felt it to be really high of a vertical play. After disassembly, i found out that one of the FRN point supposed to be into the liner was squished and out of it. Managed to fix that and now I'm back to the same vertical play you described. People often say you can feel it while cutting with a lot of force, but for me it's more like any kind of cutting that isn't simple paper.Senfkarte wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 5:42 pm[...]
Yes, mine has it too. It clicks under a little load, not a lot of force is required. But the movement is very, very small. You can feel it but to see it, you need to look very close and near the handle, to have a reference point. But I have to say, the first thing I have done to this knife, was to take it apart. So the fault may be on mine side and not on the side of Spyderco, although I am pretty sure I reassembled it correctly. But I have not checked for blade play, before disassembling it, so I give Spyderco the benefit of a doubt.
The amount of force required on mine sounds pretty similar to yours.
