Thanks for taking the time for that noob question Calvin, I appreciate the information and insight. ps. on re-reading my question I see how it might leave the mistaken impression that I was making a qualitative opinion re: washers vs. milling.

The quintessential pocket knife, really beautiful Calvin, my kind of knife. Love the warm colour to the scales.

Incredible look of quality there. Congrats on the skill.

That's a beautiful knife. Congrats.
