Whats up fellow forumites!!
OK so I recently got this southard in a trade from a fellow bf member. while it was on its way to me I ordered this cf scale. After I got the scale on the knife I relized my pivot screws were too big for the holes in the scale for the screws to be recessed in the scale. It doesn't bother me (too much) but being a tinkerer I was looking through my spare parts and saw that I had some extra pivot screws for a ZT 0561 I used to own. The threads were the same so I tried it and VIOLA! Perfect FIT!! I then tried the body screws and they fit as well.So here's my dilemma, I am contemplating what to do, I currently have left the ZT screws black on the cf side, polished the black off the ti side pivot screw to match the stock ones so they are both recessed. Id like some opinions as to what y'all think. Should I keep the cf side black and the ti side polished or all black or all polished?!? I have never had two different finished screws on a knife before but I kinda like it, the black screws are kinda hidden, Ima let my fellow knife junkies be the judge of this since Im at a crossroads on this. PLEASE HELP!!
IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE A SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION, SAY SO AND ILL POST A PIC FOR YOU!!
ALL BLACK ON TI SIDE
ALL SATIN ON CF SIDE
