15V Shaman 2 Washers each side

Hi together.

Today I recieved a BBB 15V Shaman. I am very happy that I could grab one. I paid 390€ for it from a reputable German dealer. Fit and finish is flawless. No bladeplay, tip fits exactly in the middle.

The only strange thing is, that there are 2 washers on each side. Normally there is only 1 washer per side (that's what I had on my REX45 Shaman and what I have seen in disassembling videos).

I am not afraid that it could be a counterfeit, but I would like to get an explanation (in the best case from the Spyderco team) why that could be the case.

Maybe they needed two washers because of a too thick backspacer/pin, they had no thick washers to use at that moment, CQI (Doubt),...?

What do you think?

Thanks and BR,
Oliver

Yes exactly. As you can see from just looking at it, it really looks like two washers per side (reflection from liner). I took it apart and it was really 1 washer per side.
