⚙️ Hardware Setup, Adjustments & FAQs

❓ There's a small gap at the junction where the handle meets the blade on my machete. Is this normal? cfg_01
A small gap can be normal depending on the handle design. Check if the handle is firm and doesn't move. If there are screws, ensure they are tightened. If the handle is loose and wobbly, it might be a manufacturing issue.
