I'd go at it with wet/dry and strop - give you a chance to do a little convexing at the same time... that'd be me...
 
You can either do it yourself or pay a couple of bucks to have Pro do it. If you want to do it yourself you will need some Diamond rods or stone to do the bevel. Another way to go is if you have a Bass Pro Shop or Outdoor world near you there are usually a couple of people who can do it for you free of charge on their grinder. another way to go is to contact Kabar and let them do it. They will do it for free plus shipping. I would go the KaBar route.
 
If you have the means I say fix it on your own, Can't be that bad or it would have never left Olean.
 
what they said. over time, and sharpening, you can just fix it, right? course, a "pro" with a belt, can convex that puppy in no time, and leave you an edge to die for. you could then strip it, or do other moddy things.

also: subject control - "uh"? let's get ZESTY! good subject lines. i can help fix that. let me know.

People,

Putting the final hone and high speed buff on the blade is an operation that is done by hand at the factory. There will be slight variations on each blade. This is normal, not considered a defect and will not affect the cutting performance of the knife.
Re-profiling the cantle is not difficult and can be accomplished by anyone with a bit of patience and basic sharpening equipment and skills. (In fact it is a skill that all knifees should master.)
Outdoorskid92, I suggest that you try your hand at it. However, if you still want to send it in, you can.

Perhaps I simply don't understand the problem. If the grind were radically off center, a true defect, that would be one thing, and I'm sure KA-BAR would address it. But if it's just a little off center, that is another thing entirely.

That's so easy to correct yourself at home that I can't understand sending it back to KA-BAR. Just my personal opinion, but too many people get really nit-picky about things that really don't matter. I don't know about anyone else, but I buy knives to use, and I use the holy living heck out of them. Since I do use them, they're going to need to be re-sharpened anyway, and correcting minor flaws in a grind is only a matter of a few minutes. You can probably fix it faster than you can get to the Post Office to mail it.

Just my two cents.

the blade is not alot but its enough to where u looked at the blade from a distance u would be able to specifically see that it is leaning to one side mor than the other.



Thanks though or informing me of how to do these things.
