So far it is only available on the forum knife.
So do they have Christmas green then? I sent in a black gunhammer for some warranty work and they offered to replace it with another in any color I wanted. I picked the olive drab looking green and then Lacey emailed me a pic with 3 different greens, one of which is Christmas green and I asked if I wanted that instead. Looks identical to these.

Guys,
S90V has been a steel that I have used since it was called 420v in the 1990's.
We are also making CUSTOM DDR GUN HAMMERS with S90v.
Why would you be disappointed? We never promised anything like exclusivity to the steel. We did to the handle color and that promise is in STONE!.
Just to be clear, we use S110V, S90V, S35VN, M390, LMAX, XHP, Several Core San Mai Steels developed Damascus, Mokuti, ZircaTi, Forge Hammers TI (exclusive for DDR), The new Sprayed D2 from Crucible PSF27D2, Damasteel, Carbon Fiber, Ctec, Ivory, G10, and a dozen other materials.
We have the pictures done of the forum knife marked in the custom shop that I will post by tomorrow.
All of the knives will be hand marked one at a time. We are building them now.
Pictures coming soon.
Does that clear everything up?
P.S. The move set us back several months on our estimated delivery schedule.
We do apologize for that. We estimated that we would be down 30 days most.
It ended up being 5 months just to get electric installed.

Just saying
It should be here tomorrow and I'll post a pic of it.
Just to clarify, the promise was that this *combination* of blade steel and handle color wouldn't be used on any other knife, not that the handle color would never be used elsewhere. Having said that, Darrel prefers to use Type 3 anodizing on the HTM Gunhammers (we had to go with Type 2 in order to get this shade of green), so I doubt this is going to pop up as a regular handle color or anything like that.We were promised that this color is never going to be used on any other knives of his.
