Dozier blade play

[Gurdygurds]

Howdy. My Dozier folding hunter has a bit of up and down blade play in the back lock and I'm curious to know if anyone has been able to fix this on theirs or if you just say screw it and use it. I've taken it apart a few times to strip the blade etc, but the back lock is pinned in place and can't be removed, at least as far as I can tell. Is there a fix for this or does one get over it and use the knife?

it's a sub-$20 knife that you've already disassembled and altered?
I don't actually see anything to get over -- just use it.

If it locks up good and stays locked up. Then use it till ya lose it.

Yes. Yes it is. I was asking if the Blade Play is something that can be fixed or you just have to be ok with it.

unfortunately, in a pinned together knife at this price point, you have to live with it.

Pretty much what I figured, but wasn't sure if there was some tricky way to tighten it up. Thanks for the replies!
