I'm Interested in buying the voyager from the above link ^

I would prefer if it was one of the voyagers from before GSM bought cold steel, as I have heard of significant quality drops since the GSM purchase. And I love the pre GSM - Lynn Thompson owned Cold Steel's stuff. What do you all think? Is this one of the old ones still in stock? I can't tell any difference from the photos of the new vs. the old ones.

Thanks guys

The photo is of old stock, but they could have new stock and not update the photo.

I wouldn’t worry about quality changes in their main folder lines, I’ve experienced none of that despite buying quite a few new stock. They are just as good as they were before, and I haven’t heard anyone complain about the folder lines that already existed before the change to GSM.

The complaints used to be that they weren’t including left pocket clips, and that machetes are arriving unsharpened. They have addressed the pocket clip issue recently.
 
It makes no difference, as mentioned already, the knives and quality for the most part are exactly the same as before (how long it stays that way is the question), but to answer your question, the surefire way to know is simply to look at the logo on the box and blade. If it's post GSM, it obviously will have the new logo.
 
If getting a Pre-GSM model is important to you then get them while you can (unless the price is ridiculously high). The popular models which are Pre-GSM are getting hard to find. I have ordered several knives and as others have said, the quality appears to be the same, literally only difference is the logo.
