I took a file and grinded it off my Hiker. It was uncomfortable for whittling.
a few of the skeletons I have for rescaling don't have the nub, and it looks like that's how they left the factory... that or a really fine job of cleaning it up...
I'm thinking of grinding the keyring nub off my CT34 today, but a thought occurred to me: The spot where it gets ground down at won't be polished, has anyone had any issues/concerns with it rusting there?
Scales aren't alox. And I am going to tape everything up. Gonna see If I have some bolt cutters that will chop most of it off, then touch it up on a grinder. I figured out that if I half deploy the bottle opener it lifts the keyring high enough up that it can be got at pretty easily without getting too close to the scales.
