"...Pretty hard to believe..."
- zenheretic
believe! as much as it surprised me.
considering just how much i adore this classic Lum.
lemme x'plain.
the regular production unit i handled had it's scales lopsided towards the tang area, that if one viewed it from topside, the first thing noticable would be that both scales were not equally positioned, with one protruding about 1 - 2 mm.
also once more inspecting from topside and beneath the flat areas of the handle, it becomes apparent that the grinding on that particular piece i handled was not the picture perfect finish apparent on the numbered version.
personally, if there was one thing that needs fixing; it would have to be my preference for a better sheathing system... and that it's always going to be considered a magnificent creation.
