I need help on my Odyssey....

[Cosmic Superchunk]

I received an Odyssey model 186 as a gift from my kid brother which has alot of sentimental value to me, however, when closed, the blade leans towards the side of the handle and when I open it, it brushes up against the liner. Is there any way to correct this without having to send it back to the folks at Buck?

El Cid, I think that they're actually made that way. I have three of them and they are all like that. I sent my first one back to Buck and they sent me a new one and it was the same way. I've seen a few blade bending techniques on the forums, but I would not exactly recomend them. Alex

I would have thought their QC would catch this before the knives leave the factory. That's not too cool. Well, I guess I'll figure something out.

If the knife has sentimental value, note it when you send it in.Buck is very good about personal value.re:qc,ive been in walmarts in 5 different states and fond the same problem in every one i looked at.Good knife, definatly worth fixing.
