Mine did that at first. It has been fine since I pulled it. Fingers crossed.Yep the blade is not bowed , alignment is good. Just doesn't feel as smooth as Gus's .I have to send it back though because it has a problem screwing into the top cap you have to try several times, as it seems to want to cross thread or something and you can't tighten it. Looks to me like there's a fat thread on the first threading of the top cap, so Matt can take a look at it all fix that problem and see.
