I got a Waterway and an Aqua Salt SE. The Waterway is perfect. I dont see anything wrong with it other than a few pepper flake stains on the blade.

The Aqua Salt unfortunately has a crooked blade. I suppose it wasnt set straight in the mold.

I was thinking of putting it in a vice and trying to bend the tang/handle to make the blade straight. How tough is H1, will it snap the blade or do you think it will bend? I need to bend it about 3/16" to make it look straight.

Update!

I put painters tape on the blade and vice jaws, and put the blade all the way in to the handle on my vice. Gave it about 3 good wacks on the handle with a rubber mallet and it is perfect now. Im really satisfied now as that was bugging the hell out of me.

Blade to handle ratio really doesn't matter long as 1. The cutting surface is long enough to do what you need 2. The knife carries comfortably in your pocket and 3. It's not too heavy. Comparing my ZT0200 to my OG Military, the military beats it in all 3 despite the Military having a worse blade to handle ratio. On my wife's Delica, however, for me personally it bothers me they didn't try to stuff more blade in the handle because for me it'd be more usable. For my wife, she likes the blade length so since it does what she needs and is light and easy to carry id say it also doesn't matter.

The people that talk about blade to handle ratio never use their PM2, The YouTube talking heads!

My buddy who carries spydercos doesn't like it, he's more of a manix fan and I tell him the manix is pretty much similar to the PM2 he won't agree no matter what I tell him

What I think happened was he couldn't get a PM2 he wanted and now he has a vendetta.
