THANK YOU! My Eklipse slightly off to the lock side and your method got me perfectly centered in less than a minute. Worked like a charm.

Thank you!!! Fifth video I watched. The first videos did not specify to tighten the joint screw beforehand.

This video was really helpful. I have seen some of the techniques referred to before, but you did a really good job of showing and explaining them. I especially liked your tip for using your cell phone to get a better look at whether the blade is centered. Thanks -

I purchased an anodized half track from you and upon receiving it the blade was a little off center. I followed the directions and it worked like a charm. It didn’t take too many fine adjustments either. Thank you for the information. The knife looks great and the anodizing is awesome.

Thanks for the video. Excellent tutorial. I have been doing some of the tricks you show, but not loosening the screws near the pummel. It makes perfect sense! The blade can't move over if you only loosen or tighten the pivot. What an epiphany, thank you.

This really works well, did it to my 0350. Thanks for the info.

I drank every time you said half track.just trying to help! Great video and I'm going to correct two knives with this instructional information.

Cool tip. Will do that next time I have a centering issue.

[@TheHumanNerd]

Thank you very much for this. I bought a dark blue 0308 and it was a little off center and pretty tough to fire, but this seemed to get it very close to centered and my fingers are recovering from that flipper tab. :-)

Had a problem switching to teflon/bronze washers on my Gen 6 XM-18 3.5." Blade sat off center and would move side to side when it's closed and in the handle (like detent hole is too big). Will send back for warranty if new spacers don't fix problem. Hinderer is having some growing pains with the new Tri-Way Pivot system and lock geometry. Hope they can improve and work out the kinks.

I just use a small wedge so I can see where the blade tip is and I get it done right the first time.

Tried this about 5 times on my firetac, no joy. Worked on my 0470 better but not perfect.

[@iaaiah]

would you be able to show how to center a few benchmades next? or would it be same as these? great video

That’s a lot of work to fix a $400+ knife! #shouldaboughtachrisreeve 😆

Chris Reeve has had some centering problems as of late, too.
