I was given a cold steel Leatherneck SF, but I can't tell if I have the 2011 SK5 steel version or the 2012 4116 krupp stainless steel version. I *think* I may have the SK5 version, which is apparently perceived to be a better steel/grind combo by many. From what little I know, I think this is the version I have. I can post pics once I get to a camera, but I was hoping perhaps someone might be able to post pictures of each and explain/show the differance?

Thanks in advance!~
 
Wasn't the SK5 version full-flat ground and they changed to a Sabre grind with the 4116 version?

Can anyone confirm this?
 
SK-5 version has a full flat grind. Check Dorito's pictures out - they illustrate old and new. I prefer the SK-5 version myself.
