I used to sweat this early on in my knife collecting, but after buying many knives at many price points I don't let it worry me any more.

If the lock up is solid, and the blade doesn't rub the sides - I use the snot out of it.

I ruined one or two knives trying desperately to get the blade centered ...

Treat all folding knives as though they are slipjoints and your fingers will appreciate it.

There is no substitute for a well made fixed blade knife.

Pair a good fixed blade with a good folder and you have a winning combination.

I recently re-added a Military to my collection - I was fortunate enough to get a Ti/G10 with M4 blade steel.

I sold my S30V digicam G10 some time ago - not sure why I did that - may have to pick another one up.

I just picked one up yesterday also and it was shaving sharp out of the box.
The fit and finish on this knife is pretty remarkable, and the thing ate up some cardboard and magazines.

It's a shame the scales are only removable by drilling out the pins.

I was showing a few guys at work some of my collection, and I pulled the Ocelot out of its box after a few years of it resting. I never carried the knife - I bought it with a few other knives and I guess I forgot about it.

It's the combo edge model - and the blade is shaving sharp.

I'll probably ...
