I didn't want to be a pain in the arse, but my YKCG also has a gap as you describe. I have been contemplating for days since receiving it whether to send it back for handle re-fit or just make do and let their guarantee take care of any future problems. But, every time I look at it, it bugs me. It's not right. I want it to be right.

Ya know? Well, at least I'm not alone in my feelings about the handle issue.
