Lock up on ZT0200?

[jill jackson]

Is my ZT0200's liner supposed to be cut straight across where it locks behind the angled blade base so that only 25% or less of it is actually making contact? Lock up is solid and it looks fine till you look very close and see daylight between the metal. Maybe its like that to wear in with use, but on many other knives I have with liner locks the liner and blade base are both fitted and angled to provide more metal to metal contact.

mine appears the same way, although I haven't taken it apart for a precise inspection. However the lock-up is dead solid with no blade play & it passes the spine-whack test. If yours is the same I wouldn't worry about it.

Good as long as mine isn't the odd one in the bunch I'm happy.
