Thanks
It's not something I routinely check! The top cap screws in but does catch at the beginning and then screws in fine -- so I had a look to see why.
I see.
I’ll have a look at mine to check.
One thing I’ll mention...
I happened to watch the Karve SS review on You Tube by Cris (Another Cut Above), before I actually received mine.
He mentioned that the brass one threads just a tiny bit smoother compared to the SS one, which is by comparison very slightly “rougher”.... He wasn’t sure whether that was due to the different metals, or just because he had been using the brass one for quite a while whereas the SS one was brand new, just machined.
I had to agree with him once I received mine, there probably is a very small difference in how they thread (and as you say, it feels a tiny bit rough just at the beginning, then it screws pretty smoothly). But I suspect I wouldn’t have noticed it, had I not watched his video beforehand.
