The overall finish on my Vallotton (and Navaja) seem pretty similar to my other Taiwan knives. The inside of the liners of both look pretty darn good to me. Yeah, they're not high gloss polished, but they're more than smooth enough, and evenly machined. And I really don't care if the inside of my l...

Shave your head. Best option IMHO. You could also start listening to OI! Punk and pretend you're a skin! ;)

(I am not balding yet, but I'm already am a "skinhead" :D )

The reddish discoloration inside the holes...

...I haven't seen it on any Spydercos lately!

Great improvement, even though it's only a little detail without any functional problems involved; sometimes the little details matter ;)

Isnt H1 work-hardened? Wouldnt that mean that one could simply take it to a belt grinder?

I'm curious about the inability to be full flat ground as well.
