Last I won't use this ugly purchased clip, instead I will make Ti clips that use the scale screw and be inserted into a channel under the scale instead of over, that way it will be ultra deep carry with nothing to snag your pocket. Last I'll either use a different pivot or I will put a copper/zi/ti/etc cup under the pivot screws. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234413-512375.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234419-512376.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234429-512377.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234457-512378.JPG View Quote |

The other two are Inkosis which I think started in late 2015. Both the Inkosis have what I believe is called a bead blast finish on the handles. I think this is how all the CRKs come now, other than the Mnandis. Gives a little bit of texture/grip. Not bad. Shows marks fairly easily. The older Sebenza though has more of a smooth finish. Perhaps stonewashed? Doesn't seem to show any marks. Finish looks consistent inside and out on the Sebbie. I like it better. So, was the smooth finish on the Sebbie handles standard or an option at some point in the past? Stonewashed (kinda what it looks like)? Polished handles (which I know they offer now on some special editions) that have just worn really well and not picked up scratches? Or is it just plain Ti and they get like that from years of use? The box the Sebbie came in doesn't give any more than the basic info, perhaps suggesting it was the plain Jane model at the time. Any insight from long time owners or enthusiasts? I'm tempted to find some pebbles and a coffee can and try my hand at stonewashing the Inkosi handles myself... View Quote |

The clip on mine is all kinds of FUBAR'd from work and I need to try and even it out, but I'm hesitant to take any kind of abrasive to it. |
