I was always curious about these knives. When looking closer at the second picture, is that dirt/gunk in the grooves where they join? Not that I’m sure it matters, just interesting to see evidence of a genuine two piece composite blade like that.

No, that's the joinery from the factory. I actually have two of these (three if you count my Kershaw Rake) and they all have that seam of bronze/copper/whatever it is between the two blade steels.
The junction is completely smooth. You can't even feel it with your fingernail.
The bottom curve of the pocket clip not matching the curve of the back of the scale while the upper curve of the pocket clip matches the finger groove is driving me batty. 😆 🤪
Interesting that they had different weld patterns for this blade: https://bladereviews.com/kershaw-junkyard-dog-ii-review/
Yeah, there's at least two that I know of. Mine is the older pattern.
