Felt fibers on the tip of my knife

[LAASF]

Hey everyone,

I recently picked up a Spyderco Military 2 15V BBB, and noticed a couple of things that have me curious. First off, it appears to feature a ceramic detent ball. Secondly, I found some blue, felt-like fibers stuck to the tip of the blade.

I didn’t manage to snap any photos, but I’m wondering if anyone has seen this before. Could these fibers be residue from the buffing wheel, or might there be another explanation?

Any insights would be much appreciated!

Spyderco only uses red felt. You’ve got a counterfeit!

Mine usually have cat hairs on them but they didn’t come from Spyderco.
