Question for Jeremy and Bill
What is this little dent the other side of the sear hole, I’ve seen it on other Coricama knives ?
Cheers
Joe

Re: Jeremy and Bill
It’s simply the sear hole being drilled extra deep and almost all the way through. I’ve seen some where it looked like it was drilled about 98% through and then they peened back the steel to close it againLucentcrow wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 3:58 pm Question for Jeremy and Bill

Re: Jeremy and Bill
Actually a severe defect Joe and I'll dispose of it properly for you!... Actually, my newest little BO/BC has a tiny bump opposite the sear hole as well.Lucentcrow wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 7:48 pm Malteseflatguard

Re: Jeremy and Bill
Puma and a few others use to put a dot in the blade to prove the RW hardness of the blade. Perhaps they did the same:

I don't think it is really anything else......The tester leaves the dot and proves the RW hardness.....

Ha ha I’ll send it now

That makes sense too because it almost looks like it’s been drilled that side with a tiny countersink, I’ve seen the same mark on a fb members Coricama knife

Cheers that’s the exact same indent very interesting,
Why do you think it’s the other side of the sear hole ?

I mean why placed there and not somewhere else

Re: Jeremy and Bill
Is it possible that the dent was put on the wrong side of the blade? It should’ve been on the other side indicating where the seat hole should be?

Re: Jeremy and Bill
As MF said, it's just where the sear hole was drilled. Nothing exotic.

Re: Jeremy and Bill
The Puma's are all on the back of the blade so as not to take away from the front look of the knife.

Re: Jeremy and Bill
Since it is exactly opposite of the seer hole I doubt it is a a Rockwell hardness mark.
