The centering is perfect now. It should of come from the factory like this. Their was some blade wobble before I sent it in and now it is rock solid. I added a different clip as well. The clip might look a little marred up as I had to man handle it to get it to have the retention I wanted.

Like the clip, glad you're happy the knife now. As for me, the more I see close-up pics the least I feel I want one. It all seems unsmooth and too much "plasticky"... My Sanrenmu looks better to me (not comparing quality, steel or whatever).

No worries. If that's how you feel then that's completely alright. The handle material is basically the same as the FRN Spyderco uses. It does have a hollow plastic sound though. Its kind of hard to explain. Now that it is all fixed up and I can enjoy it I am really liking the knife and have no complaints.

It's great to hear that BM has terrific CS.  Is the knife light weight?  Looks like it would be great in hand due to the shape.  Glad all got sorted out for you and you can enjoy this knife.

Its pretty light. It only comes in at 3.7oz. For reference a Spyderco Endura4 is 3.6oz. So barely heavier than a Endura4. The 0.1 of a oz would not even be noticeable.

It is great in hand for me. Fits my hand very comfortably.
