I just got my deer hunter about a week ago but havent had much time to really look at it until earlier today. I noticed the blade wasnt exactly centered but thats par for the course. Also, and I have heard that they come tight from the factory which mine did. It didnt/doesnt "flip". well I loosened the pivot but the blades centering went off even more. Is there anyone here that knows how to correct this... or will I just have to put up with a tight pivot and not try using the flipper.
 
Do the tried and true paper trick. Here is an explanation of how it's done from RevDevil. Hope he doesn't mind a little copy and paste.

1- Loosen all the handle screws (don't remove them, just loosen them)
2- Loosen the Pivot screw, again don't remove it
3- Get a small piece of paper and fold it a couple times. Wedge it in between the blade and handle until the blade is centered.
4- Tighten the pivot screw all the way.
5- tighten handle screws from the furthest away the pivot, alternating sides if needed.
6- Remove the paper, and slowly loosen the pivot screw just enough so that the blade can be flipped open.

This has worked the best for me. Worked like a charm on my Tiger Jump. Most go back to perfect while only a few would not center at all. Also make sure to clean/lube the pivot area and washers. Lastly, make pivot adjustments in very small increments. Hope that helps and good luck.
