It's not SnakeSkin, it is way before that...it was simply called "Camo"
The stuff was all over the place in 2000-2001 when I was buying everything.
You can find it on some Apprentice Knifes as Jerry had them making knifes when he left for town one day.
He came back and heard "Look what we found in the closet" it was some of the last bits of the "Original Camo" that Jerry held back for knifes like this one. I use to have a lot of it.
The Logo would have been right after Busse got the Laser Etcher, Jerry was etching everything for a while. I don't remember what year that was but I had sent in piles of knifes to be reworked and they were all coming back etched.
If you can figure out the year he got the etcher, you can figure out the year this knife was finished.
AND, if you remember back them things took 2 Weeks to finish.. I had knifes there for way over 2 years just for new handles or a Satin finish.
This could have easily been sitting off to the side and "Found" and finished much later than the rest of the run.
