What a knife! This thing's a handful! It feels so solid when it opens up.
I have a question for those of you who own a 0300/0301/0302: Is the titanium side of your knife about the same shade of gray as the blade? (I'm referring to the dark part of the tiger striping for you 0301/0302 owners.)
I was not able to see a 0300 in person before ordering this one, only pictures, so I thought the titanium was quite a bit darker than what I'm looking at now---more like a dark charcoal gray. The titanium on my knife appears to be the same color as the Tungsten DLC coating on the blade, which is a dark gray but certainly not as dark as the black clip. (In direct sunlight, even the black clip looks like a very dense gray, so I guess all things concerning color are relative.)
I'm not unhappy with the color of the titanium, just a little surprised that it's not closer to the color of the G-10 side, as it appeared in several pictures.
What does your 0300/0301/0302 titanium look like? Also, does anyone know if the titanium handle is treated with Tungsten DLC, like the blade?
Below are two 0300 pictures I ran across. The lighter one looks like mine actually looks in person. Perhaps the darker one is just a lighting illusion and it's not really that dark.
