Military/Starmate liner question

[Costas]

Do these two knives use a single liner, or do they have two metal liners under the G-10 slabs??

Do they feel "solid" ?

Another thing-the eccentric pivot pin is a feature of the Military only?

Costas - Both models have a single nested stainless steel liner. the clip and the back spacer screw into the liner. The liner is a press fit (+/- .001). They both use an eccentric pivot pin. They are both rigid, tough and light.

Not to be contrary, but don't the non-clip screws just pass through unthreaded holes in the liner? And then screw into inserts in the spacers (and into the stop-pin on the Military)?

I'll definitely second that they're rock-solid, as well as lighter and slimmer than you'd expect (esp. with 5/32" blade stock!)

Drew - correct on the non clip screws. The posts provide more thread surface than the liner. Permits a more rigid frame. With the clip screws, we also have the rotational torque to content with so we take advantage of both the G10 and the liner.
