Tasman Salt 2 Hardware - black screws/silver backlock?

[alexct]

Purhcased a Tasman Salt 2 via Amazon, arrived last night and surprised to see it has black screws in addition to black clip, but still a silver backlock. Is this new? Or do I have a counterfeit on my hands... ALL the other pictures of the TS2 has silver screws with silver backlock.....

Dear alexct:

The implementation of the blackened hardware and lock bar on the Salt knives was not an immediate, 100% change. Since the production of parts is batched to achieve economy of scale, it is likely there were some "transitional" pieces like your Tasman Salt 2.

Stay safe,

Mike

Amazon is not a reliable source for the true brand.

My recent Tasman Salt 2 is the same as yours and I didn’t get mine from Amazon. Black screws and black clip. Silver back lock / bar.

I kinda wish it had a black back lock / bar but I’d want to keep the black screws. I like it.
