Today is Sat and I took my 6 yr old to Kumon, while waiting inside the truck, I pull out my 3 yr old EDC wave-endura and looking at the off center blade, which really bother me ever since I got it, I had take it apart, clean and service the knife, tighten and loosen the torx screw, swap the metal liner, in which make no difference.

And while waiting inside the truck and looking at this POS, it cross my mind that in order to center the blade tip inside the handle, I need to make a small change at the pivot point angle.

So with the knife close, I grap each end of the handle with my thumb and index finger and bent it slightly and I can move the tip of the blade to touch either side of the metal liner.

After I got home, I put the pivot end of the knife on the vise and slightly bent the handle and now the blade is perfectly center inside the handle, I also did loosen and tighten the torx screw, open and close the blade many times and it is still perfectly center, so far this fix is permanent at least for the last 6 hours.

Please excuse me cause English is my second langauge, and I hope the above info help, MAHALO.:D
 
I collect blade centering tips and that's a new one for me. Thanks for another method to add to my list.
