Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and would appreciate some opinions/help! I recently bought a CRKT Folt's Minimalist Bowie, and think it is a great neck knife! However, it seems the factory grind is pretty uneven. I've attached a picture and would love your opinion on this part of CRKT's response:
"You would only need to mail the product back to us. However, I must note that the same minor imperfection will be prevalent on most, if not all, of the minimalist. The knives are sharpening by hand so the same pattern will show up again. I do apologize. Here is the link to our Warranty form:"
They were quick in their response, and offered to replace the knife for free (if I pay shipping). BUT, they specifically say that this issue is prevalent with this knife because they are hand sharpened??? I'd love your opinion on this... is it normal to get an uneven factory grind and I just haven't noticed before? Am I being too picky, and should I expect to re-profile new knives? (As far as correcting the issue myself, I'm working with a WorkSharp Field Sharpener).
