Hi Chris,
I'm afraid that the way the fittings look is my fault. The fitting were quite dirty and starting to corrode when I found this knife so I cleaned them enough to remove most of the corrosion then waxed them. They are not as shinny as they look. Some of the shine is probably due to a combination of the wax and the flash on the camera when I took the pictures. If you look at the last picture you can still see some of the oxidation on the band going around the grip. I was trying not to over clean them. If I don't get any response here I will contact Mr Levine for his opinion. Thank you for input on this item.
