Different knife. The one that you can win is a custom, not an HTM version.

Had a chance to play with the two HTM AXDs Darrel had at the show today -- one assisted and one manual -- and they're sweet.

As usual with Darrel's knives, the assisted version has a nice kick to it, but what really surprised me was how smoothly and easily the manual one flipped open even thought it doesn't have bearings. (Darrel explained that because the AXD model predates the Maxx Glide bearing system, the handle slabs aren't machined in a way that would accommodate bearings at the pivot.) Lockup and other aspects of build quality were top-notch as well. The one thing that the lighting in the picture doesn't quite do justice to is the stonewashed finish on the blade, which looks much better in person.

That's awesome. I'll have to pick one of those up too and switch it in and out with my full AXD custom. Give my custom a break now and then.
