when the back of a tanto blade touches the inside liner

[GBeninati]

is it normal for the flat back side of the tanto blade to touch the liner slightly when the knife is closed?? this has occured in on my cqc7 ( I have returned for service) and now with my new specwar. It would concern me that three out of five emerson knives I have bought had to be returned for the same problem (karambit also)

If the pivot screw is properly tightened and the blade is still off center the easiest fix is to bend your knife. Open the knife and wrap the blade with something so you do not cut your self. With the handle in one hand the blade in the other give it a little bend. Close blade to check position of blade if not where wanted repeat till blade is centered the way you want. I use this method to keep all folding knives centered. Have a good one.

THANKS BROTHER!! :thumbup:
That work great!! I did have to bend it the opposite direction than I thought but now it is perfect!! I kind of knew that this wasn't a defect, glad to know it can be fixed so very easily.
