I am really on the ball. I got my Pipsqeak for Christmas 2011... and I just noticed the 2013-1 Boker Catalog picture is 'different'! My Pipsqueak, s/n < 070, has only two Micarta attachment screws on the extreme end. The middle screw, seen in both the current catalog and the preliminary picture shown here two years ago, has a middle screw - making three! It looks to be located about where the clip screw is located on the Ti framelock side. I quickly removed my clip and replaced it's screw, I just don't recall how long it was or how deep in the spacer or if it went to the other side of the Ti frame. Anyone else notice this? If you have - or had - a Pipsqueak, did it have just the two screws on the non pivot end of the Micarta scale, or did/does it have three?? Thanks!

mine only has 2 screws but I have also had it for over a year now. It seems like they are just keeping current to neil blackwood's pimpsqueak as he is now using 3 screws in the custom version of the boker pipsqueak. that's just my guess anyways

Maybe Boker just used a Blackwood knife as their prototype for ad pix? In any case, the Boker production Pipsqueaks I've seen or heard of have all had two screws, not three as advertised. Odd!
