I just received my 0560 today and I am absolutely in love with it. My question is about the blade centering, I have heard a lot of talk about people wanting their blades to be centered perfectly. So I was wondering if this affects the knife at all besides just people wanting perfection. My blade is just off center and seems to operate fine but, if there is a drawback to being off center I would like to know about it.

Thanks
 
Unless the blade is touching the side of the handle it should be fine, just a cosmetic thing. Great knife by the way, one of my favs!
 
Just cosmetic, unless there is blade play or rubbing there is no need for concern
 
My 0560 was off center when I received it. I took it apart to check out the bearings and when I put it back together it was perfectly centered. I don't know if that was a coincidence or not.
 
IMHO a blade should be centered. Especially if its a knife over $50 street. Is it the end of the world if its slightly off center? no. Especially since 9 times out of 10 it can be corrected if you know what your doing. But there are some folders that are almost impossible to get centered due to poor tolerances. It really all comes down to the individual and what they feel is acceptable for them. One thing I would NEVER accept is a knife where the blade is actually rubbing on the liner or frame. That is just poor form.
 
Thanks, everyone for all the help I love this knife and it will be riding in my pocket for awhile
