It’s all good, I just want to center the blade and work on the lockstick, bought new 3 days ago but probably sat on the dealers shelf for a couple of years with dozens of folks trying it out..Didn’t really notice how bad it was until I got back to my hotel..

Personally I would send it back to the mother ship and have them fix, especially if you bought it new from an authorized dealer.

I may end up doing exactly that, contacted the maker but no response as of yet..
