Off to the clip side a mm or so, but not rubbing...I couldn't get it centered before disassembly using the normal tricks. I blame that on the extremely tight fit of the barrels in their respective holes, I'm gonna ease that fit a little before reassembly and see if I can get it centered.

Try stretching the frame the opposite way when assembled

Tried that, there was zero movement on the blade centering no matter what I tried. The barrels were so tight in the holes that I had to use a drift to drive them out...it was crazy. I haven't had a folder fight me like that in a long time.

Alright, after sanding down the barrels and opening up the holes in the lock plates I was able to reassemble it without a hammer...and it's centered
(Yeah, the liners got ano'd gold while it was apart)
