i was just wondering if anyone decided not to use the shock absorbers on the thumb lugs? The knife should function just fine without them right?
 
It should, but the O-rings reduce noise and wear, and I tend to think they're a big part of a fully functioning 'Zaan.
 
The knife will work just fine with out the o-rings but the thumb studs look a bit weird with out them IMO.
The o-rings just work as a buffer for the contact point on the scales as the thumb studs are obviously the stop pin.
 
I cant imagine why you would not want to use the orings.CRK puts a lot of

time and research into their knives.

Im sure Chris didnt put them on the knife For Looks.The orings are there to

absorb shock and quiet the clack sound.

I was just wondering because I some how lost one of them???:confused: I took the knife out of my pocket and one o-ring was missing. Do you know where I can pick some of these o-rings up at?
 
Haze has a post with glow in the dark o-rings on the umnumzaan, absolotely very cool

I remember from way back in the days in my teens, I had a glow in the dark knife, that thing always drove me crazy when I was looking at in the dark whenever I got home stupid drunk after a night out drinking with friends :D
