WH question and discussion

I have a couple of questions: Where does the liner lock normally sit on the tang with WH knives? Mine seems a little to the right...
Are the screws supposed to come out the other side of the liner? Why does Matt insist on that stupid curved grind plunge on the T10? It's astetically pleasing, great, it takes away cutting edge! I don't wnat to buy T10s for this reason.
Ok, I had to get those questions out, now...I'd like to open up this thread for general WH and CRK discussion. They are my two favorite cutlery companies, and I'd like to hear what others think. I've heard a lot about CRK, so maybe let's hear some more on WH! I have currently a T12 Ironwood and a Blackwood Mnandi. I've had others from both makers in the past, but traded at some point or another.
So, let's get it on!
 
I like the T-10 the way it is. It's one of the classiest looking folders out there. Someday a bone scaled T-10 will be mine.
I'm holding out for a bone inlayed Mnandi too.

The new WH Buttonlocks are looking mighty good too. The Spryte would make a great companion for my Umfaan.

So many great knives...so little money....

I'm relatively new to BF, but I think I have an eye for good design, thanks in part to a lengthy and expensive secondary education.
I own a William Henry T09 in jigged bone, and a small regular sebenza. Both are well-crafted beautiful knives that I rotate in and out of my EDC group. I did notice the protruding scale screws through the liners on the William Henry, but I'm not too concerned. Trying to grind the screws flush with the liner may damage the anodized surface of the liner, so I'm thinking that may be why they're left like that. Plus I'd rather have a little more surface contact between the screws and the liner than running the risk of cutting some screws just a fraction too short....
My sebbie is just mechanically perfect. I couldn't imagine a better made knife. I may send it back to have the titanium re-blasted (it does scuff rather easily), but I'm otherwise very happy with it.
 
I own three WH's, just got a WH t10 today (thanks New Graham). Great knives, I too am considering the Spryte.
