Does this blade look off center? I cannot tell if the knife itself is tilted slightly or it is indeed the blade itself. Slightly zoomed out.

Centering pictures can be difficult. Is the pic completely perfect overhead? Who ever is actually holding the knife in hand should be able to tell better. Why do you ask?
I would be more concerned, that there's no room between the lockbar and the blade. It looks to be touching on that side.
I would guess the camera is tilted very slightly making the blade look closer to lock bar than it really is.
Looking at my Sebbie right now, and when tilted the slightest bit looks just like that.
Yes. The tolerances are so tight even a small tilt of the camera make it look off. OP, did you ask the seller if it is off or for more pics?I would guess the camera is tilted very slightly making the blade look closer to lock bar than it really is.

Having taken many of these sort of pics myself, it looks like it's a little off center to me. Favoring the presentation side.
Not terribly uncommon in a frame lock and if it's a legitimate CRK you can always send it in for a spa day.
Depends on the deal I guess. Is it worth the trouble?

i see alot of this blade centering concern.
I'm curious, isn't the blade being centered more important in the open position?
I never see that looked at. As a maker, I look for both.
But I would choose/favor the importance of the blade being inline with the handle vs what it looks like in the closed position.

I wouldn't think so actually. The blade isn't going to rub anything in the open position and since there's no real point of reference, centering issues in the open position aren't as immediately obvious. Whereas a centering issue in the closed position is pretty easily seen.
