They either can't replace the safeties or they are too lazy to. Either way, it's pretty much the mark of an amateur.

Re: Hair Trigger
Personally I like the stiletto with no safety, think they look better and I'd never carry one so I'm not worried about one going off in my pocket. Eact to their own.

Re: Hair Trigger
Lol, I have noticed that before. It's kind of funny because the safety is like the easiest part. Folding a modern safety in to place can be annoying but the old style safeties are pretty simple.Bill DeShivs wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 7:25 pm I'm always amused by customizer's claims that safeties were removed for a "clean look."

Re: Hair Trigger
Well, the knife came back a couple of weeks ago with the hair trigger fixed. I like AIK's service , it's friendly and reasonably quick. Before it was returned to me I received an email from customer service notifying me that they had found the button side scale broken at the button hole and they gave me a choice of material to inlay across the area diagonally ; I chose ivory.

Sorry, I've been away working on the camp in Maine. Just got back picture will be along soon. It was a long drive home.

Re: Hair Trigger
I like the pattern, the file work and blade profile.
The scales are a bit gaudy, but the ivory insert fits well.
Blade is dated 2011.
Someday I'd like to have real mother of pearl scales on it.
