I was doing some online shopping today and ran across 2 different kershaw RAMs. There was one that is the "old" style like mine, with the flat hawklock, and no deep carry pocket clip. But then there was an image of a different RAM that had a raised hawklock, and a deep carry pocket clip, as well as a larger lanyard hole. Is there a new model RAM that came out that I totally missed out on? If so, when did it happen? I need to snag the new model up before it leaves, as my previous RAM got dropped and broke.... not to advertise websites, but so that you guys can see the two different pictures available, the "old" style is available at bladehq, while the "new" style is available at knifecenter. Thanks in advance for the input!

The style that you own is the only one that's been produced. The other style has never actually been produced.
This one is real:
This one is a lie:
Now, I did hear something about how some newer RAMs have had some improvements made to the Hawk Lock - something about how the new ones have more springs, stronger springs, tighter tolerances....something like that. I really don't know the details or whether any of that is true or not.

Good to know! thanks for the information! on a side note to Thomas and/or anyone else who may read this that works at Kershaw, the design that has never been produced is, indeed, AWESOME. The raised Hawklock and deep carry pocket clip would make this gem of a knife really sparkle!

I have noticed that my newer RAM is a bit stiffer than my old one, but I have removed one spring from each of them to allow them to be open and closed easier.
