I don't care about the gap, on min it seems its just a gap on the more outside part of the res-c.
ikd how to explain it, but like, you can't stick a toothpick, into it( I don't thnk) becuase like really, its not even a gap.
idk
I'm fine wiht mine, I don't think and think can seep too far into the handle to do any damage, unless the gap went all the way to the back of the blade.
