CRKT Foresight by Ken Onion Two Tone?

[mattfro]

Does anyone now where I can pick up the two tone version that they had at release? It has a polished and a matte finish on the handle and I THINK was pretty limited.

Thank you!

Yep, it was pretty limited, 130 total according to AGR. I got one from AGR right after Blade because it looked interesting and was so limited.
Far as I know, they have all been sold for some time, but you might give AGR a call to see if they might have one laying around.
Keeping an eye on the Exchange here might also be an idea.

An A.G. Russell Exclusive The Foresight is a brand new Ken Onion design from CRKT which was recognized Blade Magazine's 2012 Imported Knife of the Year at the Blade Show awards banquet this past Saturday evening (June 9, 2012). A. G. Russell Knives is the exclusive source for the first production models.

These knives are unique. It was CRKT's intention to produce this model with handle scales with a gloss black raised surface and matte black fingergrooves. That proved to not work well in production. After producing only 65 of each the plain edge and a combo edge, they made the decision to produce the knife only with handle scales that are completely matte black, including the fingergrooves. These 130 knives will be the only ones produced with the contrasting gloss and matte scales.

Thank you sir! I had no idea it was that limited... No wonder I cannot find one anywhere. I assume the cost has only increased at this point?

Glad I could give you some info.

Hard to say if its increased. Have not seen any for sale, and have not tried to sell mine.

I'd imagine if you find one, you can get it pretty close to the original price.
Not a huge amount of "collector" interest in CRKT, so unlikely to demand a premium any time soon.
Considering it is a Ken Onion design and pretty scarce, that might change in the future.
