Would you return?

I would return it. I'm under the impression that if it was shuck from being dried out; the gap would be an even gap. In the first photo it looks like the bone is touching the bolster and the bottom there is a gap. Making me believe it was cut wrong.
 
I don't think it shrunk.;)

I would be irritated with that and definitely send it back, maybe get one from a knife dealership and ask them to send you one without issues like that.
 
Yep. Seems like the consensus is to send it back. I noticed the gap right away when I took it out of the box and was disappointed. I thought I was overreacting. ;-)

I have it boxed, labeled, and ready to go out tomorrow. I'll post photos of the repair.
 
It's a $60 knife and it takes ~8x magnification to see the flaw, which does not affect function...

You cannot see the flaw in the one picture showing the whole knife and that picture is also magnified.

A lot of our "experts" chimed in but were wrong. It appears the real expert, Case, is correct, it's a bolster problem.

Case will fix it. That's neat.

What have we learned today, Grasshopper? :)
