NedFoss COUGAR 3" Sandvik 14C28N Blade Folding Pocket Knife with Button Lock

I don't know if I got a bad apple out of the bunch but the blade is not centered. When closed it's off centered and touching the frame that it looks horrible. No quality control? It's so obvious, how did they not notice this? Or is one of the assemblers careless and don't take their job seriously? I use to work in a machine shop for 13 years and I know about quality control and speaking up when something is not correct. I ordered it through Amazon but that makes no difference. And the button sticks horribly when opened. Have to press firmly to disengage it. I've got over 50 knives in my collection from different knife makers and they all show exceptionally great quality in their design. I don't like dealing with the hassle of going through a refund, or exchange, it'll just be one of those beater knife or just be avoided. I had high hopes and expectations for this knife and it ended being a big let down. I've even tried readjusting the blade to get it centered and no luck.

This has become one of my favourite edc super beautiful amazing form factor

Very sharp. Nice steel. Light and sleek. I really like the button lock. Make more!

This knife puts some $200+ knives to shame. No Ti nor MagCut but for the dollar the COUGAR cannot be beat. This is my 5th NF and each one is more than a winner. Ned is the best go-too knife maker!
