Could it have been a bad batch of Micarta because my understanding is it is supposed to shed water and other liquids. The Micarta on knives i have used has not changed in appearance.
Please let us know the outcome.

Roland, Just assuming the detente is hiden away in that metal on the back at the pivot point. My guess is that it’s a bearing from how smoothly it moves.
About the canvas. CK told me there was no way to just clean a spot of oil off the canvas. To go ahead and oil the entire surface, which I figured would be the answer. It may shed water but that canvas is dry and will absorb oil. Which is an issue since your hands have oil in them and you are bound to get oils from other things. I didn’t actually get oil directly on the canvas, it was on the micro towel I was using to oil the blade before I put it in the display case, so it transferred from cloth to cloth, it’s that dry.
It looks fine oiled, it’s darker and I think will be fine. Not sending it back or anything. I would still recommend it, but be aware.

Does this type of joint even need oiling ? Mine is totally smooth so i have not oiled it.

Nice knife Kris. If you get a chance do you mind showing the sheath in more detail? I'm curious to see how it straps.

Thanks much, I enjoy sharing my pics and will keep em coming. Very kind words, thanks again IM, always nice knives in your pockets.

Thanks Mark, a man would have felt like a king to own one of these in the 70's. Fantastic CCC's!

I haven’t been disappointed w/ very many CCC knives that I have gotten over the years. Most all have been terrific. Now I am waiting on my red bone Kickstart that the club offered this summer. For once this wasn’t overpriced, like so many of the other CCC knives in the past. Actually offered at the low end of the retail price on the new Kickstarts. Suppose to be here before the end of the year. Another surprise some day.

Thank you
