Thread: Wonky Wapi

I have 2 wapis that I made scales for and one of them fits dead centered when I test fit it, the other will not even close in the scales with the same set and same pin. After examining the blade I first noticed that the tang was bent so I bent it back. Still doesn't fit. The whole shank looks slightly bent or twisted slightly. Anyone ever dealt with this? How did you fix it?

I would suggest a vice and rubber mallet. Whatever you do, make sure you keep a buffer between the blade and whatever you apply stress with, and go slow and gentle.
