Let's see your Traditional Case knives, old to new.

The copperhead is a wonderful pattern and I have a couple. I had to bend or tweak mine a bit. On a flat piece of cast iron I laid down a rag, opened the knife so it was at a 90 degree angle, folded the rag over the blade, and tapped the tang about 1/2 inch from the knife.

I looked through some krinking threads last night. Help me understand the location you were working. Does that mean a half inch above the tang shoulder on the blade itself?
Thanks

Question for my CaseHeads. I bought a yellow comp Copperhead sight unseen online with the worst blade centering I've ever had on a knife. The pen blade is worse than the clip which isn't close to center. I can't get a .001 shim between the liner and the pen blade on the far side of the nail nick. It is rubbing the liner but further up the grind so the edge is actually not making contact. I can live with the clip, it clears a piece of paper between the liner. It's a great pattern and am wondering if I should warranty or accept it?

If you bought it new, contact Case. I had a Mini Copperlock that the blade hit early and scraped all the way down. Case sent me a mailing label. A couple of weeks later (pre-covid) it came back fixed.

I believe we are thinking about the same location. Yes, on the blade itself. It you look at the nice Case knife above, I would try to tap just above the S where the blade is flat next to the shoulder. The first time you try, hit it so light it can't bend it. Then gradually increase the force that is necessary bend it. Use a rag on the bottom and on top of the knife. It is a little hard to tap the right spot with the rag, but I don't want to cause any marks.

Best regards,

In December, I sent one back to Case with some real bad blade wobble. They didn't offer me a mailing label, but they did fix it right.

Best regards,
