Hi all, not sure if it shows up to people very well but I just got this Native 5 in today and upon opening it up, the blade just didn't look quite right. Compared to user pics and the like, the grind at the front of the blade appears too straight. I'm thinking it was either ground too much or too little and it just doesn't look as nice to me. Also on the inside (couldn't get the camera to show it well at all), the lock spring isn't sitting in the middle but towards the back (clip side) scale though I don't think that affects function much, if at all. I'd appreciate some input on whether or not I should send it back to Spyderco so they can spruce it up a bit or something. I understand this is probably just aesthetics but it keeps nagging at me.

Pic link since its big, apologies for blurriness camera just wouldn't cooperate: http://i.imgur.com/KjaVk.jpg
 
Looks fine to me, but it could be the picture quality.

Contact Spyderco if it really bothers you and see what they say.
 
could be wrong but the belly look way overground near the tip, almost bird beak. if the picture doesn't fool me, i'd send it back to the dealer/spyderco.
