Loose is not descriptive enough. If there is vertical play when opened, that is a warranty deal. If the blade is closed and rattles, that is the detent and another warranty deal. If the play is side to side, it is probably a pivot adjustment, and you may need to apply heat, as other said, and do the adjustment. If you apply locktite to the threads, use blue medium strength, adjust the pivot and leave the knife alone for a day or two. Threadlocker cures in the absence of air and it takes a little time. Don't use too much or it will be tough to disassemble later.

I would not use a soldering iron. I hold a heat gun between my knees with the nozzle close to vertical. (HFT stuff) I hold the knife and the Torx driver in the heat stream and when the screw starts turning, remove it from the heat and finish the extraction. If the screws are loose, simply remove them, add Loctite, and replace.

So it has some SUPER strong lock tight on all the screws. Use a solder iron to try heating up and breaking loose the lock tight. Be careful not to damage the knife. Then just tighten the pivot screw

BillyZThis is really odd. I thought you were referencing side to side play. Is the lock bar engaging all the way? Do you have any tools to strip it apart?
