Vantage select paperstone, wood color?

[mars5l]

Came across a 345 select that looks like its paperstone but in a wood color. Never seen this one yet. It looks real, but no box. Any info on them before I bid?

I didn't know they were made with paperstone.

I’ve seen a charcoal dymondwood, which is usually a 346, with a 345 blade. It could be that. It looks pretty cool. Here’s my dymondwood 346.

Confusing. Original 1st post said 345 vantage which I couldn't find anything on. And now it is said to be a 545.

Same here.... It is a 345 though... The listing is wrong...

How can you tell that it is paperstone?

The little groves near the lock is a good way to tell

My paperstone vantages are dark green, as are all the photos I've ever seen of the paperstone model. Could it be that someone did a RIT dye job on that knife? Or maybe a factory prototype?
