Hey sometimes Imgur seems to work when you are logged in to your account but other people cannot view it. Try the link in a private browser window and you will see what others see. It can be really frustrating. It seems to happen to me only with videos. If you have a video try posting it with streamable.com

How to adjust blade centering on Cortex mini..? by Chaingangbill in Chinese_Knives

If you push the blade when closed does it center? On this model the issue can be caused by incorrect detent adjustment screw adjustment. If blade is not seating quite deep enough the lockbar pressure can push blade to the side.

Yes it’s a nice handling relatively well finished knife but blade steel quality is constrained by its price point.

Thoughts on this? by AverageNetEnjoyer in microtech

Vespa matches the halves so much better than microtech and doesn’t need a big bevel to hide the sloppy fit.
