I think the molles I see being made most of the time (and make myself) have more abrupt shoulders and fades, but that isn't necessarily bad as long as we control our mass placement. Overlays and no side nocks suit the levers extremely well but the original had side nocks. I'm pretty sure the artifact wasn't heated into reflex/deflex with curved levers but those are some of the snappiest smooth shooters I know of.

Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.
