A face only a mother could love. Happy Mothers day!
 
PLB - your pic makes it all clear. Is that a mini blood groove running thru the hole?

Uncle Timbo. The groove is on both sides and the blade finish is a very smooth stonewash. So I think the grooves are there to make it easier to pinch the blade open. I've been on the fence about ordering an XL. The XL has 2 aluminum scales and a liner lock, while the smaller Hiline has one side made of stainless steel for the frame lock and the opposite side is aluminum. Buck reports the weight of the original as 3.9 ounces and the XL is only 3.17 oz. It's bigger and lighter - can't argue with that.

Thank you, PLB. I'm leaning towards the non XL.
