Just to add a data point: due to the reports of loose screws, when mine came it I used my torx bit to give each screw some light back out pressure. None of them moved, so I left them alone. I may repeat this process in a few months after some use, but nothing has kicked the Delica out of my waistband as yet.

I've noticed over tightening the screws causes the scales to flex enough to impede the lockback mechanism making it less smooth, probably why the screw are fairly loose.

My screws came extremely loose, and rattled around in the handle, but after putting on some loctite and tightening them, it's been totally fine. :) One of my favorite knives.

I guess I must have reported my loose screw problem in one of the other threads on this knife, but the one just behind the lockbar on mine was just about falling out/off when I took the knife out of its bag. I just grabbed a Torx wrench and tightened it up. Cheers, Radioactive
