thanks for the reply, i cant get any movement off the diamond myself.

what struck me as that it might be a repro or replaced is the fit isnt that flush to the metal work, i can only compare to the later hj knives i have access to which seem well fitting.

the bakerlight is edged on both sides, my others are rounded, again iam not sure if this is significant or not

and the sealent used on the grip where it fits the area of the finger guard? is that unusual?

thanks again

mike
