took pics and posted. then i began my inspection ritual that leads to renwax, oil, etc. unfortunatlet, i found several issues with knife.
a phone call to ray at northwoods and i returned my new knife.
took about a week and i got a new # 8 from them and it's flawless. great people at northwoods. dedication to the customer goes a long way with me.
so here is the new one.
