Hi all. I am eagerly anticipating this knife. I have noticed in the new Spyderco site that the handle color is leaf-green.
This surprised me, since a few weeks back I read the late and great James Mattis's (may he rest in peace) post where he included two pictures of this knife (open and closed) which featured an olive-green colored handle. See for yourself:

Personally, I prefer the olive-green color, since it generally goes better with clothing colors, and does not attract as much attention. The model he pictured was probably a prototype or pre-mass production model. Still, the leaf-green makes sense in that the blade itself is described as leaf-shaped. So, the handle color is appropriate with this description.
My questions are:
1) Whether this knife with the olive-green handle will also be sold, or whether it was just limited to this early version?
2) Which color do you guys prefer? Olive-green (old model) or leaf-green (new model)?
Thanks!
