Has anyone had any luck with a specific technique to center their Grip blade?
Mine is laying against one side, but doesnt seem to be rubbing yet.
So far I have tried:
1. Loosening pivot screw and tightening while holding the blade in the center position.
2. Loosening pivot and other handle screws and retightening from the clip side up, pivot last.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.:)
 
I can't believe I haven't gotten any responses. Should I put this in general Forum??
 
It was like that on mine, I loosened all the screws and pushed the blade to the other side and retightened everything.

You could also try pushing the handle up on one side and down on the other while the screws are loose to see of that helps
 
Thanks for the response. I did try to wriggle the handle a little to see if it would reseat more alligned, but when I tightened the pivot screw it shifted back to one side. Have you taken yours apart yet? I'm afraid I might mess it up putting it back together. Someone on youtube said the washers may have some uneven spots and need to be sanded flat.
 
I've taken mine apart 60-70 times since I've had it, the hardest part of putting it back together is putting the washers in line with the pivot.

Did you losses all the screws and push the blade over and hold it in place while you retighten from the bottom up leaving the pivot for last?
 
Yes I did. I think that technique is for knives that are pillar construction and/or have handles that can flex slightly. Thanks.
