Vic Sentinel bladeplay?

[Grathr]

I just got a NIB Victorinox OH Sentinel from ebay, and it has some sideways bladeplay. When I move the blade I can see the liner move as well. (about one mm) Neither my OH trekker or my Adventurer has this problem. Have anyone else had the same problem with the OH sentinel?

I have my sentinel a few months now and don't have that problem... My '10 soldier neither, but after some hard (ab)use at work I had to remove the scales and hammer the main pin. This helps a lot, but be careful.... Don't exaggerate, since you're tightening the blade rotation.

Update:
I thought about sending the sentinel back to victorinox, but dcided to see if I could fix it myself.
I popped off the scales of the sentinel, and discovered that the pin holding the blade had not been hammered(?) properly. A few light taps with a hammer, and there is no more bladeplay.
