Honestly, I think we SAK collectors are a bit spoiled when it comes to blade wobble, myself included. I've owned enough vintage slipjoints with some wobble to believe it's an excepted thing, within reason, of course.

Day 9Queen Copperhead in curly zebrawood today. Couldn't use my camera on this one because it's hot and humid, the lens fogged up when I took it outside. So my phone had to do. That wood still looks nice though!(Image removed from quote.)
1970s Craftsman "Old Crafty" Stockman made by Camillus for Sears Craftsman. I don't know what was the problem with early stainless in my area, but literally almost every 1970s era stainless knife I come across in my area was sharpened with a grinder. I paid $15 for this at a local "military surplus store" (which is really more of a police supply and non military or police used knives place) earlier this year. 2016-08-24_08-39-31 by cody6268, on Flickr

The older stainless steels needed to be ground pretty thin to get a good edge. Schrade had the "Razor Blade Stainless" Line that had a thinner edge grind.I've have Case surgical stainless knives in the past that would have benefited from a thinning of the edge.
My Camillus TL-29 from the 70's has no edge problems at all. It was good when I got it, and thanks to my Lansky it's now a razor......
Nice Case D-Mac!!!!

Yes, it's carbon. I prefer carbon over stainless, though my Buck 301 takes an amazing edge as well.

The same knife that Kirky posted yesterday. I won this Taylor's Eye Witness in the very first giveaway I entered on the forum, from Neil. Nice, solid knife.
