When I saw the blue one on the most recent annual posted, I was very surprised. My guess is Frankenknife. I can't see how they sent that out the door in blue and not gold. No birth card is pictured in a way it's readable.
Off the top of my head I think I remember 2 silver thumb studs. Never a blue. All the rest gold.
Or the original owners asked CRK to replace the thumb studs with blue ones as the damascus blade was probably ordered later on..
When do annuals come up for sale from CRK and how much do they usually cost?
