for me, the handles are all wrong and the main blade stamp is way to good for the wear the knife shows and the short pull bothers me too. another thing, i allways need to see inside the backsprings so i can see the liners. because this knife shouldnt have a full center liner. it should stop flush wirh the backsprings. what do you think?

center pin appears to be spun, not hammered.
