CQB Surface Finish Change?

[Marion David Poff]

I posted this in the Camillus Forum too, but I was hoping to get a quick answer, and I figure that someone might know who does not frequent the Camillus Forum regularly.....

Will or anyone that knows,

My local dealer has a CQB that is first generation, I know this because he has had the same one since they were released, that and the sheath is not real great, a hallmark of early production.

The finish is that matte.

Then I head over to the Camillus Knives website, and the knife there looks like it has a stone-washed (aka tool or tumbled finish).

Do the latest production have a slightly different finish?

Thanks in advance for any information you might have.....

And as an added bonus, here is an old JKM image.... May he rest in peace....
