Just picked this little piece up for 32$, some thoughts:
- why washers? The action is not horrible but definitely the worst button lock.
- really pretty to look at in pictures
- why the recurve?

Pretty neat little piece definitely, but lots of room for improvement. I'd pay extra and get the Swaggs Swayback.

Solid B for a first attempt, keep up the good work. Gave it to my mom.
 
For laughs I took apart to see if I can improve the action (its 32$ so I don't feel so bad messing with it). It turns out there are these two plastic washer films on either side...not sure what they are so I removed them.

That and some lube later, the knife action is greatly improved and it falls shut as well.

Neat little knife.
