I got my Disciple the other day, and I noticed almost immediately that the blade is canted by almost a whole degree; the tip (37in blade) is half an inch off center from the hilt, and it is visibly angled. the hilt isn't warped, nor is the blade, visibly both are perfectly fine.
I wish I could post good pictures, I don't have a good enough camera to show the cant.
I've emailed customer service, but they haven't sent any real advice beyond putting tape at the bottom, which doesn't fix anything.
Should I void the warranty and put another screw 180 degrees from the current one? It does cant towards the screw, so I assume it's caused by the screw "pulling" on the blade, however it doesn't cant exactly towards the screw (has a slight left lean when the fork of the emitter faces the wielder). I don't know how to fix it then, and I've spent a good amount already on this Warrior edition.
Please get advice to me ASAP.

Enough wraps so that the blade is tight even without the retention screw - though obviously still put the screw back in place afterward.
