First off I am very new to custom knives and new to knives in general. I just bought a new Korth Stinger (from a dealer). Nice knife but the blade is off center when closed. This is intended to be a edc and will be used. Is the any functional reason to be upset about the blade. I realize "Is the blade centered?" seems to be a question asked but what is the reason? Is it simply aesthetics? Thanks.
 
Possible to take a picture of it?

Rather hard to tell how severely off centre it is.
If its so bad till its scraping the sides, something is wrong...
 
I've had some blades like that and the simple solution on those is to tighten the pivot screw and it lined up great. I don't worry about that anymore as ong as the blade doesn't scrape against the inside of the liner To which I just re-tighten and go on using.
