Chris, the Model 2 SnGs should look just like the knife in that picture, stonewashed blade and all. If you look VERY close, you'll notice that the G10 isn't black, it's (lightly textured, not the same texture as the G10 on an AR) dark green & black. It's hard to see. I didn't realize it till Matt pointed it out.
AFAIK, the Model 3 SnGs will be all black with AR textured G10. The Model 4 SnGs, who knows?
I know you like Chris Reeve knives. I loved my Sebenza till I rec'd my AR. For a hard core, non-tactical user, stonewashed blades are superb. This Model 2 could very well be the best of both (Chris Reeve/Strider) worlds. An ergonomic framelock with a better guarantee than a Chris Reeve knife. I can't wait!
