Sorry, but I'd like to disagree. Current production models look FANTASTIC: Stealth Chaparral, LionSpy, Szabo, Gayle Bradley Air...

I love that para! He posted it in the mods thread. He took a camo Para and sanded it down. Had to change out most of the hardware to get rid of the color on the inside of the holes.

I've got a blue Almite Walker...and it is pretty smooth too. I just find that Almite is a little bit slippery, so it is not a carry knife for me. I'd love a new MW sprint in the woven CF like we get from Taiwan. I had the Lum Folder sprint from just a while back, same thing...very distinctive sound...
