In the CMON's case, I can tell that over time the scales have misaligned - ie the top of one is just below the top of the other side. My guess is that is causing the closing problem, amdn maybe the orginal pinning has wrenched it wrong over time - just guessing. The DD seems to be a loose pin issue - it wants to go dead center but will float if not guided.
Again, in both cases the scales look good, but a more expert eye might see something I'm missing . Is this ever an issue of the pinning just needing to be redone so the blade can be recentered? Or does this resolve itself as the thing is cleaned and oiled?
