Yes,
I believe there's no such thing as a 3b 2020 Only a CRKT Sting (the crude 1 piece knife) and the Sting 3B--the knife in your pic--which is model number 2025 not 2020.
As per CRKT themselves,
2020 : https://www.crkt.com/sting.html
and 2025: https://www.crkt.com/sting-3b.html
Model numbers are right above the name on the website and printed on the knives themselves.
Another option is a Hoffner Hand Spear. It's 440c and made in USA. I use a Tekna Ocean Edge on a daily basis. It's the perfect size for boot carry, made in Italy of either 420hc or 425ss both of which work great for an EDC blade.

Well, it just seems to me that getting too much hung up on country of origin will limit severely the field of possibilities. In other words, if it's A.G. Russell branded, I will buy with no qualms. And to follow up on the crude POS... I know there is a "one piece forged" Sting (blackened) out there. Don't care for it, so I won't even talk about it.

That Ek Jaroz boot knife is is nice!
@herisson I am not here to argue with you about China. I was simply trying to recommend a knife to the OP that met his stated search parameters.
