Mini-Police necklace
Bought my wife a Mini-Police necklace knife yesterday. Got it home and noticed quite a bit of side-to-side wobble in the blade when locked open. Took it back today, but all three they had left had the same wobble. Anything I can do about it? (I own a nice ball-peen hammer!) I know it's only a bauble - but it's still a $75 bauble, and all my other Spydies lock up tight.
Although one <i>could </i> consider the Mini-Police a bauble, IMHO, it is far from it. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
I don't think that it should have any wobble, just as in its' larger <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> relatives. I suggest that you call Mike, at Warranty and Repair(800-525-7770), and explain the problem to him. I'm sure that something can be worked out and you'll either get this <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> repaired or replaced.
Good Luck

Roachfarm,
Checked my minis for the same. Neither the little police nor the mini-Mariners wobble. I can't see where a little wobble would harm as these are not real daily users and they are primarily an adornment, but since you have a lot of side-side play check with Dr. Mike as KBR suggested. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Necklace knives...neck knives. Hmmmmm.... Christmas IS just around the corner and Mrs Java likes the SPOT! I wonder how Frank Recupero would rescale and filework one of them Micarta babies?! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Bought two of these ; one I gave
to a complete stranger at the
local Motor Vehicle Dept. who(m)
actually wanted to but it from
me, she was soooo "taken" aback
by it. The other went to
DiALEXs' wife Ana Maria. I noticed
VERY LITTLE "play" in the
blade, and this is NOT a
"heavy" user ( like, say, the Endura
) Check with Mike (Hayes) in
warranty & repair if it's THAT
BAD.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Jeee-min-eee, guys,
Mrs Java sleeps with hers! Guess you won't be sportin' a SPOT!! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Guess I need to borrow Shiden-Kaj' signature for this reply - "Fear causes hesitation, hesitation causes your worst fears to come true."
Stay safe! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
