Can anyone tell me more about the USN version? Where I might be able to acquire one?
I'm going to guess that it will be astronomically expensive. And that's if you can find someone who'll sell theirs.
I can't wait to get a 0801! I'm debating between 0801, 0801BW, or 0801BLK! What is your favorite between these? (question addressed to OP and anyone else who may have some input)

For that worn look 0801BW wins hands down. With the DLC on the handle the 0801BLK gives you the best traction/grip.

Great point! RamZar, can you tell me anything more about the 0801USN version? I'd never seen it before.
The BLK version really has noticeably more traction than the others?![]()
I have all 3, and my favorite is whichever is currently in my hand. It only gets tricky when I have one in each hand.
They each have their benefits. If you want something to carry that won't show much wear, the 0801BW is your best bet. If you tend to wear darker pants and don't want the knife to "pop" in contrast, you might want the 0801BLK.

Yes, other than the CF ones (question was 0801, 0801BW and 0801BLK). The DLC coating takes away from the slippery titanium. On the BW ones some of the coating is thinned.
