First Crk Recurve Grind

[Forester_01]

Hello Everyone,

I recently received my first crk knife today-- a large sebenza 21 with micarta inlays. After inspecting the knife, there appears to be a slight recurve grind. I may just be quite picky but if you could have a look at it and share with me some of your thoughts, I'd appreciate it immensely.

It’s subtle, but I see it. Is it from a dealer?

Several years ago I received a factory new Sebenza 25 with a very similar problem. When held at an angle where light reflects off the blade I could see a subtle step in the grind and assumed it moved during machining. Then, when it came time to grind the edge the operator had to remove more material to keep a uniform bevel.

It was from an authorized dealer and they replaced it no questions asked. You should do the same.
