    What you may have is an asymmetrically ground tang or a warped blade or both... If your scales were made of plastic or horn you could apply a little heat to flex them enough to avoid fouling the edge but as you used G10 that is not an option. One reason I don't like the stuff for rescales

    A little judicious sanding at the pivot end of the scales will make a big difference at the wedge end & shaped thrust washers can do the trick too.
