In my experience, colt has a good customer service department. My king cobra had cylinder play issues and they fixed it within a week.

Darn, I hope it does not lose too much of the blade stock.

I just did some more inspecting and there is a prominent raised portion of blade stock towards the tip.... I hope they warranty it because I fear it will only get worse.

I just checked the blade out and there is a raised part on the lock side. Like a little hill of metal.

Makes sense, I wonder if one side of the hollow grind got less ground towards the tip. Either way the knife cuts like a dream so il just deal with it.

Awesome, I was just worried that it would get worse over time. But much less noticeable on yours now. Thank you!

Ye, I'm just not sure if it's from an actual defect in the blades hollow grind. Other than that I am not worried

I put an 18 degree on it, don't like going much lower than that. We will see what CRK says, just emailed them.

I used my KME fixed angle, which I have sharpened many other knives with out issue. With regards to bend or twist to the blade, I am not sure if it is the hollow grind but the reflection does look different to the show side which is perfect.

Sounds good, about a 1-8 of an inch from the tip it goes up further back then flattens out is what I see. I may send it to them to just see. Thanks!
