I didn't realize that's what the other holes were for. I filled in the one in the blade and it's much closer. Still not as low as I think it should be but I can live with it. I'm worried about how well the quick steel will hold in there as well. Hopefully it won't be to much longer until I get my magnacharger kit and new TB.
