Hit it a couple of licks and see how it is. You don't want to overdo it so proceed slowly. Once it is as tight as you want it check and see if it opens and closes on center. If it is not closing on center hit the opposite side of the pin and that will usually bring it around. At least IME.
So let me see if I have this right. If your looking at the scales and the blade from the end (heel of the scales) where the wedge is. And the blade is closer to the left side of the scale, then you should tap the right side of the pivot to bring it around?? I read somewhere that you hit the same side that the blade is closer to. Maybe I'm wrong so please let me know.
Thanks,
