Why doesn't the thumbstud/bladestop touch the G10 on the SMF and SnG?
Per Mick Strider:

"It doesn't matter and is designed not to matter.

We would RATHER that it "Just misses" the G10.
We do this because it wears a lot quicker than the ti. If your lock is set to touch the g10....then it wears....your lock is less secure. If it always hits the ti, it rock solid.

On a lot of knives, you my find a small spot where we took off a little g10. This was done to insure bump stop to ti integrity."
