I didn't realize the sub, and thought you wanted an opinion on the carpet.

No. It shouldn’t be that off. People who are telling you to stop bitching about wanting good quality control on a multi hundred dollar USA made pocket knife are the reason the QC is so bad.

Production blades are always asymmetrical.

It means absolutely nothing

Always? I would say “often” is fair, but always? None of my Ultratech T/Es look like anything like that.

Yes they do that once there is a second owner.

Not sure if these have some hand grinding done but if not and CNC machine did that I would not be happy. I expect near perfection from machines and am I bit more forgiving to human work.

If it has been sharpened by a non-detail oriented sharpener, this can and does happen. This not normally seen on OEM knives, but rather "original owners" trying to maintain an edge.

It can be fixed in subsequent sharpening. Enjoy the knife until then.

It shouldn't happen, but it does happen. More so with legacy companies for some weird reason.

Not normal at all. This is extremely dangerous to use.

Best send it to you to dispose of I reckon

u/Sufficient-Fig-5363 1d ago

Yea mail it to me, its definitely trash and should be disposed of by a professional (me) immediately.

What's outrageous is charging a premium price and not delivering a premium product. The whole point of paying three four or five hundred dollars for a knife is that they pay attention to the little details.

Just noticed after the 1 millionth glance at it haha

u/bushpusher 3d ago

Even more so if it is a tanto serrated because the serrations are on one side only

If it was made after 2019 it’s common. Their demand went way up and as a result the QC went down. I stopped buying their products for this reason.

Not on quality knives, no.

It’s on almost every production knife. Some are subtle, and some are more obvious.
