Has anyone bought a Cold Steel Pipe Hawk recently?

About 6 months ago I picked up a Trail Hawk and it did not have the usual black paint finish. Instead it had a very nice antiqued finish - I really liked it. No need for stripping!

The store had other CS Hawks in stock and they all had the black paint finish... but I saw on the CS web site that the Pipe Hawk may also be coming out with the antiqued finish.... has anyone bought one recently and got the new finish?
 
I wouldn't call it antiqued exactly but it's an uncoated as-heat-treated finish. That's what they've swapped over to now instead of the black powder coat.
 
Thanks! Yeah I wasn't sure what to call that finish exactly, but I think it's an improvement over the black paint / powdercoat.
