Mine has a small gap and a little indent on the side without the logo. I may take a file to it to even it up. I think the gap is from the polished spine being done after the handle was put on. A few imperfections give it character. Long live Dan the Hack! If it really bothers you try a tiny bit of J B weld and when it is dry use a marker to make it black to match the handle. I probably won't bother though.
