I’ve seen the Master Tanto in 3V floating around with traditional finish (uncoated blade, tsuba, and pommel). The Magnum II is my all time favorite CS model... is there such a beast out there? I own the black one... would love an uncoated counterpart.
 
It appears that CS has discontinued the DLC coated line.

The DLC blades have saber grinds and the plain ones have hollow grinds.

I don't think they will have uncoated saber ground Magnum Tantos.
 
Now that I have one I can confirm that the uncoated 3V Magnum Tanto XII has a hollow grind.

It looks almost identical to the San Mai III version aside from the different markings and the lack of a lamination line.

For some reason online stores tend to make it look like a dull grey but fortunately it looks better than it does in those pics.

It is slightly thicker than the San Mai III version and it is tighter in the sheath.
