I can only think it an inherent design flaw. I look at the hollow portion of the handle and it is way oversized for the blade. As such the blade has no choice but to pivot loosely. There is no screw tightening to be done. This problem is an 'out of the box' problem and the screws do not turn any more tightly than they are.
