An interesting moment that is not listed on the site of Hinderer (in any case, I did not find it, but I see it with my own eyes and in many forums this is indicated) - working part of the lock plate (If the steel plate is not installed, as on the model Firetac) covered with something very durable, most of the opinions that it is tungsten carbide. This explains the fact that the stop plate at Strider wears off and Hinderer not wears off and the damage is obtained by the blade shank. The photograph shows a stain on the stopper plate in a more opaque color
