I have some kind of small problem with almost every Spyderco knife I own. For one thing, they can't grind a blade for crap. Every one of my knives (with the exception of 1 or 2) has an off-center blade due to either poor fitting of the pieces or in the case of my FRN Stretch, a hideously uneven grind (which I think is common for this model.) Then there's the thing about the lock bar in a back lock being anything but flush with the tang when open.
These aren't big problems in the least bit, and they certainly don't affect performance, but yes, I do have minor issues with almost every Spyderco knife.
Does anyone else have problems with most every purchase?

So I'm not crazy. I've had two Stretches with that same problem, very uneven grinds. I thought I was just really unlucky. Ironically, I really like the design so I placed an order for a third Stretch, hoping I'll get lucky this time.
All my other Spydercos are perfect.
