I happened to come across a Junkyard Dog 2 model 1725BLKST. I am used to seeing them with black G10 scales and a silver blade such as this:

But it came with a black blade like this:

Does anyone have any information on this, such as if these are a limited edition, etc? And why there are two different JYDs with the same model number?
 
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a 1725BLKST that was shown on the website with a black blade. When I received the knife it had a regular satin blade. When I inquired with the dealer they were a bit confused as all their examples had satin blades. I ended up sending the knife back. Not sure if these were ever made or not. If they were I sure would like to have one.
 
Oh, they exist. I just took this picture of mine:
