The aluminum Tasman is here!

[I.V]

First of all, I'd like to thank you again, Steve, for the contest and the great prize.
The Tasman Salt arrived earlier today and I immediately went to try it out.
The knife is beautiful and very solid for the feel, the lockup is tight and it's pretty much impossible to tell that it does not have the original handles.

The titanium clip is super nice and rides low in pocket. Grip is excellent thanks to the grooves on the aluminum.
The only question I have is what are the screws made of? I'm just curious if they're rust free

Sorry if this post is a little messy, I'm in a rush, I promise to post more later on and include pictures. I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures, all I have is my camera phone.

The screws and barrel in the pivot are stainless steel but not the H1. The pin in the lockbar however is the original H1 steel pin so that should be trouble free completely for you. While it technically is not as fool proof for corrosion resistance as it was in the orginal handle it should be a fairly trouble free knife since those pins and screws are fairly high chrome pure stainless in make up. I doubt it will give you trouble. It has teflon washers also so overall it should be quite trouble free.

Watch the screws in the pivot for the first few weeks and if any loosening occurs on one side or the other you can opt to blue loctite it but it was tested for a week without change before the contest started. I think its good to go.
