Mornin' Barney,

I received it as a belated Christmas gift and haven't used
it yet.

My initial thought was that, like any pocket knife that
experiences side pressure on the blades, the blades could
develop some "wobble" as the pivot points wear.  I was
curious as to what others might have experienced with the
"Carvin' Jack".  I will probably carry it in place of my
jackknife (I've always carried a pocket knife) though if it
becomes uncomfortable in my pocket I may go back to carrying
my regular pocket knife.

Knowing the reputation of Flexcut, I'm sure as they get
feedback from users any required re-engineering with be
addressed.
