There's a part of one of my pioneer scales that seems like it was torched or burnt or otherwise damaged in production. Maybe it's just a characteristic of the bone, and I should come to terms with it - but it looks more like a flaw than "character" to me.
I'd love to hear from those who have been around the block more, as these are only my second and third GEC knives... par for the course and live with it, or should I send this one back? I should add, I absolutely LOVE the pile side scale. I was hoping for one of those wormholes and got a great one!
Thanks for any input!
