Hey guys, I'm not sure if Im posting this in the wrong forum, but here it goes.... I've been looking to buy a spyderco caly 3 in ZDP-189 and have searched around a bit. I noticed that on some websites the knife's wire pocket clip is unfinished, and on others it has an oxide like/parkerized finish (SEE PICS BELOW). Did spyderco produce caly's with both clips. I posted pics below so you can see what I'm asking about and maybe Sal will jump in and answer this for me. Thanks.

Both of those pictures have terrible lighting. The clip on my zdp Caly 3 doesn't look like either one of those. It is not coated and it does not look like the other clip, but I think that is because the picture is washed out. All of my Calys have the same plain stainless wire clip. I do not know if this has always been the case with the Caly.
 
Earlier models use to have clips heat treated(bronze colour)for more discrete cary,new ones are all stainless.Cheerrs.
