Blade Grinds on my Sebbie

I have a small classic BG42 sebenza, which I love. I have used the knife pretty extensively and it still looks great. I was reprofiling today with a Lansky, and I noticed the primary grind ( at the top of the hollow) are a little off from side to side. On the thumbstud side, the grind is 1-2 mm higher than on the opposite side.

To be honest, this bothers me a little bit. I know this doesn't affect the knife's function, but it still gets to me. Maybe I am drinking too much caffeine.

So I guess my question is this:
If this was your Sebenza, how would you feel about it?

I am not trying to start a controversy, or sling mud by any means. I still believe that Sebenzas are the best folder out there in the knife market.

Thanks for being a part of my OCD episode.:D

I always say if it bothers you then send it in. That would be the quickest and most satisfactory way to solve your situation.;)
 
That's the best way to handle it. I bought my first sebbie on ebay and it was in near perfect condition except for the blade grind. Well for $9 Chris Reeve made it perfect and I think he blasted the handles. It now looks like a new knife.
 
I may have to break down and send it in, just to see the outcome. I am going to have a hard time parting with it though.

Then you will just have to get another one, so you won't be Sebbieless!! There is always a simple solution!
