I had really bad up and down play with this adamas. It would also fail with tiniest spine whack. I live in Europe so sending it to USA seemed like too much.

I decided to try fix it myself. I used Spyderco sharpmaker diamond rod to grind away some material where the axis bar contacts the blade and about 30 mins of grinding tiny amounts and reassembling the play was gone and lockup is now rock solid.

Kind of sucks that expensive "hard use" knife had this problem, but now it feels like it was intended so I'm pretty happy.
