Update to my Miltary M4 RIL with orange scale...stonewashing!

I too have wondered this. Will be buying the first screwed one I see! My years old, heavily used orange rescue is my fav work knife. Not keen on "adjusting" the pivot with a whack of a ball peen hammer every so often though (but it does work :)

Fantastic pictures! These threads always make me want to get into photography myself!

Just received mine in the mail, love it! It has definitely been refined compared to the old version, smoother, better F&F, and better lock up. It is harder to unlock one handed. The first few times I felt my finger nail bend back (I hate that sensation!) I trimmed the nail as short as possible, and ...
