Blade centering on a Case Copperlock amber bone slipjoint pocket knife tang stamp 61749L SS

Quick video on the process to center a blade on a Case Copperlock slip joint pocket knife. I had to bang on it more than 10 times. I didn't show all the banging.🔨💥‪@knifesanity2342‬

If only the Case manufacturing facility was in possession of such state-of-the-art technology.

[@knifesanity2342]

I couldn't find my good hammer, had to improvise with the back of a hand axe.

[@scottenfreude]

@@knifesanity2342 Oh, it wasn't a knock on your improv, it was a knock on Case for having the correct tools and failing to get the job done. Keep up the good work.

Welp mystery solved... Bought a Old Timer folding knife online. One side of the blade had dime-sized round hammer marks on one side. I guess thats how they fix a crooked blade in china.

So sad that Rough Rider can do it but Case can’t

[@jdlhud357]

It worked!! I did this to one of my case knives that had very poor centering. I used a wooden dowel and a hammer. Only took a few hits. Thank you for this.

[@knifesanity2342]

Great to hear it worked out for you. I always like fixing stuf so I can tell stories about the time I ..........

[@danj9339]

I have that exact knife with the exact same problem. Gonna give this a go. It's such a beautiful little knife. Shame case don't take the extra time to get them right from the factory. Thanks

[@BaxtersBlades]

Fantastic job here. im gonna have to try that on my Case knives!

[@BiGGD313]

Great work!

[@knifesanity2342]

Thanks, it was a fun little project, plus I got a centered blade.

[@stevewalker4638]

Send it back to case ..

[@Downhaven]

Even if they replaced it and sent a brand new one you still have high odds of another off center blade. I only buy case knives in person anymore, every one I've ordered has had blade rub or off center blades at minimum.

[@Theknifenutbige]

That cool

[@randyblackburn9765]

I’m pretty sure that Case will correct the crink or any other issues free

[@remixato]

The problem is that this method is more bending than centering the blade. The pressure and tension of the pivots are unbalanced in these cases, so the blade can not go straight in the fold position. Unfortunately it is not that easy to center it really because the pivots are not screw pivots. On my swiss army knives i have the same problems.

[@madtownangler]

I only buy Case knives from a store so I have no problems with anything except one with a tiny gap on the back and I use that knife daily so I don't care if it's messed up a little . Never had any problems with any Rough Riders I buy online

[@h4rry4x44]

I saw a guy snap the blade doing it like this.

[@preacherjayk]

I use a c clamp less chance of damage.

[@escapetherace1943]

dude show some love to that poor axe that's been sitting out 2-5+ years. Go sand and oil that handle, buff the rust off and oil the head too, I'm crying

[@jamesomalley4556]

Case ! come on man.

[@PlanktoniusRex]

Well, you added a permanent defect that is not going to be covered by their lifetime warranty to fix one that was. I would have just sent it back to Case.

[@knifesanity2342]

I don't think they cover blade centering. That's how they sent me the knife.

[@mikecunningham7621]

Yup, The pin is bent now.

[@BladesRKing]

The blade looks bent not just off center to me.

[@brianbelchuk9612]

Brushed would look better
