on a mini griptilian. Blade doesn't sit centered in the handle when closed. Is this normal?

I have two mini-grips. My mini RSK is centered, my Cabelas D2 mini-grip is not centered. I have only looked at two other mini-grips, but I didn't look at blade centering, so I can't say if my experience is typical.
if it's so bad it rubs against the scales when opening/closing then it needs work/warranty
if not, or not even close: happens all the time, no problem. fuggedaboudid
Its not rubbing. But if I put a bit of pressure on it when right hand opening, the blade does touch the side a bit.
There is definitely not touching on closing. Its only when closed, and the right thumb puts pressure on the blade during opening.hmm, and how about when you close it, does the blade rub the scale then as well?
if not, then it's no biggie. if so, then either contact BM if you still have warranty, or disassemble the knife and do some DIY'ing
>add an extra washer to the pivot (make sure the washer is as close in both size (diameter outside/inside, thickness) and material as the orignal one, if the thing has any washers at all..... (dunno ).
the extra washer should go at the right side of the pivot when looked upon from above (left side when viewed from underneath)
best of luck with it,

nah, doesn't seem to be worth the effort. unless you're real anal about it you could try warranty, but i'd leave it be as is
U might try adjusting the pivot , just remember how many turns . As long as you dont have scraping , vertical , or side play - no biggie .
