ok guys i took some pictures and i think i was able to get some with angles that illustrate the problem well. i checked the condition again and there are some scratches on the face of the blade, the pivot is pretty tight and smooth though and there is a warp/bend in the right scale. let me know what you think or if i should get more pictures of anything. i'd hate to have to rescale this one considering I really like the way they look with their original scales so i hope it can be helped
