I also got an Slip it with that rattle ... I think, it is a loose pin, which is placed (hidden) between the pivot screw and the middle screw, within the spring in the back. The 2024 model has a continuous pivot at this place, which can be seen on the scale :-)
Nice score. Mayvbe a little bit of heavy oil might help to dull the rattle. I have a Manly Wasp slipjoint that has a stop pin that rattles when open, and a little bit of oil helped. I wonder if the Lil Native has a pin like that, or maybe a barrel spacer is loose, I can't find any photos/videos of a disassembled Lil Native slipjoint online.
What burns me up is people selling factory seconds on forums for 90% of retail pricing. One guy claims his knives were sold and thus passed QA but we’re seconded out after warranty repair. Buyer beware I guess. My only native is a Rex 45 , go figure, which I keep at bedside and quite like.
Seems nitpicky, but I have to mention your audio. You're not centered between the left and right mics, so when I'm listening in 🎧 (always), you're way louder in my left ear than my right, and it's rather maddening. If you change your audio settings to mono before uploading, that'd fix it pretty easily.
