hellraiser question

This Spanish Hellraiser opens up at a slight angle. Can anyone offer advice on whether this is easily correctable? Although I know that these are pretty rare and sought after, I haven't seen any publicized sales so I don't know the value of the knife, i.e., is it worth putting money into repairing it?

Those handles are made of cast zinc, and plated with chrome. The knife is best left alone.

Thanks Bill. I will leave it be.

Very nice score, P996, I've admired those H/R's since I first saw one, and Bill will appreciate this, I saw it at Roadsideimports with a US$900. price attached to it!
Did you know his partner has an AAPK store now, Bill, "Rubens Blades"? He's selling mostly parts like covers and bolsters and a few knives.
