Anybody notice lateral blade play in their Sage 5? Just picked one up and despite a tight pivot screw it still exhibits a bit of lateral blade wobble. Certainly not a functional problem, and barely an aesthetic one, to be fair. Just wondering how common this it?

Pivot otherwise seems great. Was easily drop closing initially and continues to do so after cleaning and relubing with tuf-glide. I did find it interesting how much thicker the washers are than on my D4 and E4's.


Disregard. Some more fiddling and it opens/closes smooth and easy with no blade play. Does not QUITE drop shut but as a southpaw that doesn't really work for me anyhow.
