A knife not being centered bothers me at the price point the OP mentioned. I got a Rat 2 that was not centered the other day and it did not bother me. But at the price point the OP mentioned he paid, I do not want to get a knife not centered and hear it’s fine. The market says it is not fine for it not to be centered. I have purchased knives at this price point and decided that they weren’t for me. I go to the exchange to list them. The first thing a buyer wants to know if you do not state it is “is it centered” or “can I see a photo of the centering”.
they want me to try and center the blade myself using their instructions.
Exactly this !For that kind of money, it better be perfect.
I have several budget knives (between €30 - € 130) with perfect centering, so what's their excuse?
For the manufacturer to put them together?Knives have adjustment screws for a reason.
