Custom 110: with or without rivets?

[DaleUSMC]

Can you provide any proof of the bold text in your quoted statement above? I'm not saying you're wrong but I would like to know this for a fact if it's true.

All of my Custom Shop knives have rivets (including my bone 503) and they appear to be functional. The rivets are domed on the outside and I can see where they are pressed into the liners inside the blade well. Both are characteristics of functional pins.

No signs of any sanding around the pins that I can see.

It is from the polishing of the rivits not sanding when the bark can be removed so Buck says it is a crap shoot depending on the stag they use. They do not recommend it. I called custom shop again. Nice set of Bucks by the way.

Thanks for the info.
