Well, allow me to retort. So what. Lots of mass-produced items, before Cold Steel existed and after, that are/were also subject to hand fitting and finishing, not only don't, but can't, have the same obviously wide-ranging "specs" as these knives had enjoyed over the years. Engine parts, firearms parts, machine parts, all kinds of parts. The ability to consistently produce and reproduce a knife like that in 70s and 80s wasn't some unheard, unattainable idea. Cold Steel just chose not to do it or, more precisely, have it done that way.
Also, I think you took my comment as some type of harsh criticism, which it's not. I simply find it amusing. I find the knives to be of excellent quality and interesting design.
