I know this may be a dumb question, but at the risk of sounding ignorant, I am requesting someone explain horizontal & vertical blade play to me. For all I know, several of my Spydies could have it without me even knowing about it. Again, I apologize for my ignorance. Thanks, -Jay · [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] <--- My Spydies <click the dancing banana!> ... Vertical: front to back movement of the blade when opened Horizontal: side to side movement when blade is opened · So many knives, so few pockets...

But was annoyed, should not happen with brand new knives after two months of light use. ... Excellent topic! I really appreciate the input and Eric's great drawing! Some of the newer LB blades have a larger pivot hole drilled in them and they also use a bushing. If that bushing is worn significantly couldn't that also cause the up & down play in the blade?

As I had pointed earlier, going back to the Endura or the Delica (no choil, lockback, steel spacer) is like going vintage in a beautiful way. Those are the roots of modern “tactical” folders: “one hand opening and closing” and “Clip-it”. The Endura I have bought from the Knifecenter is just flawless: zero blade play.

No blade play is always better than some. Slight blade play in either plane is harmless but can be annoying, more so to some people than others. Play like that is common, although far from universal. The "good news", at least for me, is that any Spydercos I own which had slight blade play when I received them still have the same amount after considerable use.

Unwanted side to side and forward to back motion or “play” of the blade. Fix Options: • Tighten pivot • Fiddle with lock • Accept it • Throw knife in lake • Buy new knife · Most of the time "blade play" means that your pivot is getting loose. This is an important safety issue ...

April 7, 2013 - But I tighten those knives pivot all the way for no play, it makes the knife harder to open.

To me the slightest amount of bladeplay on an expensive knife is absolutely unacceptable.

February 4, 2021 - It's pretty normal on some knives, if it doesn't move when opened then it's really nothing to worry about, it's just because it doesn't have that lock that it's moving when it's closed ...

My eenduras and delicas have had blade play and so does my police 4, but it's more so lock rock? It's never bothered me and have no chance of closing, and I've also been told it's part of their design to move a bit · I came here to cut sh#$ with my knives and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum

May 31, 2012 - Blade play is blade play. I have two knives that will not allow any play, no matter how much muscle I use or how fast I wiggle the blade. These are the exceptions though since pretty much every other knife I have will wiggle a little bit if forced. I don't really find blade play unacceptable unless you can hold the knife by the handle and shake the blade about like a rattle.
