Hi all,

Been lurking for quite a while but never had a reason to post. I come to y'all with a slight little issue. Took apart my Ruike P841-L prematurely cause I was planning to dye the scales black - then couldn't find the paint at the walmart I went to; put it back together and now it's off centered (see picture below). I thought maybe the pivot wasn't tight enough but there's only one side that has the Torx hole, so not sure how else to tighten that or if there's anythin else that could be causing this. Any tips would be much appreciated!

Not familiar with your knife, but this usually works for me.
Loosen all the screws, center the blade, over tighten the pivot screw with blade still centered, tighten all other screws with blade still centered, loosen pivot screw to your liking.

Search youtube for Nick Shabazz centering trick.
 
I use the same method as Lapedog with bad centering on a knife. Instead of cardboard I use a small wooden wedge.
 
Thanks to you all who responded, finally got time to get around to fixing it and it looks back to when I got it, nice and centered! :)
