Is the knife a new model, or an old model?
This is usually a difficult repair, unless the pivot pin is extremely loose.

Bill, I was gonna ask you the same question about a vintage lever, but the pivot is exposed between the front scales, is that a difficult job too?

If the blade is loose on any auto, the blade can peek.
Not sure what you mean about the pivot being exposed?

Bladeplay is well known for their customer service. I'll bet they'll exchange your knife with no questions asked, if their service is still as good as it used to be.

Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade.
