That was a distributor exclusive that came out early 2017. Considering how quick they went we'll probably see another run of them in the future.

Thanks

I'll let it pass, I like Damascus but not sure on the Zebra pattern.

Not a huge fan of that particular model; I prefer damascus on dress knives, so FRN seemed out of place for me as well as the pattern...
But the blue and red Suminagashi damascus ones with jigged bone handles and titanium bolsters were two knives I couldn't keep out of the collection for sure! :p
(might have to pick up the full ti version some day)

Agree re dress knives and FRN doesn't fit.

Now that is much nicer looking Damascus. Must have been something with the dead straight lines.
Scales look good as well.
Thank you for posting.

No problem!
If you like damascus, I'd recommend checking out the blue Nishijin Stretch or the damascus Native 5 as well ;)
