I recently took a NIB D3 out of my collection to use for work (by the recommendation from forum members here!) and noticed it had a good amount of side to side play. On further inspection, I noticed that the lockbar wasn't fitted quite straight, and when I held the knife up to the light I could see a good size gap on one side of the lock bar. I thought about peening the pin with a flat punch to make it a bit tighter, but figured it may void my warranty. It is still usable, and has zero up and down play, but I worry that the side play may get worse from use. Am I being too picky( I hope not), or should I send it in? Are the D3s even covered under warranty since they are discontinued? I really like this knife otherwise, and have owned many spydies before with no problems. Also, what is the address that I can sent it to for inspection if it is still covered? Sorry for all the questions, but I would really like to start carrying my spyderco knife again. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm bashing spyderco at all, as the delica is one of my favorite knives of all time.
