Those are excess bronze PVD from the two screws holding the CF inlay in place. Ask KAI what they recommend to remove them.
Oops guess I shoulda asked before I sent it in

Oh well, I guess it'll get to go home to KAI one more time before being used!

Coming to terms with the likely reality this knife will not be in my collection. But it's okay, I have a other sicknesses. Looks like funds will go to a new trigger group and aftermarket bolt for the Ruger 10/22. It's all Zen.:tranquillity:
What was GP's price?
So are they any other dealers out there who haven't received/sold their allotment yet? Will there be a second shipment arriving in the future?

I signed up at all the dealers that I know of that offered notification.Only one dealer GP has sent me notification to date.I think they are selling out faster than they can post a picture.This model is hard to land and the prices are getting up there for the few that are trickling in to the wild...Just make sure you sign up for email alerts from all the dealers so they can notify you if they get some in.
