Mine works just fine too, and I feel like a bit of a baby caring about this as much as I do, but when I feel that little flaw every single time I unlock the knife it bugs me a bit. Like I said off centered blade, a small ding on the scale, imperfect edge....I can either fix or ignore those little issues. But this is the one small thing that gets to me I guess.Naperville wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 7:35 amHere are my 4. The camera blows up the variances larger than they are. The XHP is the only one that might have evidence of an issue but, it's fine.
Maxamet - Perfect
S90V - Perfect
Rex45 - Perfect
XHP - Slight mismatch, but does not effect the operation of the knife

I don't expect them to all come out 100% perfect, but that Chief is not up to my standards for a $175 pocket knife.
I'll probably end up getting rid of it whenever the next sprint is announced.
