We're they a sprint, or do they still make them? I really like the khaki Kahr too (ha ha, khaki Kahr - a lot of H's and K's).
- best wishes, Jazz.

They were considered an exclusive. So not currently in production. Looks like National Knives and New Graham Knives have the black version in stock. Also listed as available on Amazon. With the Wharncliffe Delica coming out and standard Delica being readily availble I don't really the point of buying the black Kahr unless you want one for a collection or you're subject to blade length laws. The Wharnie and standard models are less expensive too.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

An easy solution and one that is actually more applicable to EDC rather than Self Defense is to alter a Delica FFG .
The Standard Kahr's Sabre grind doesn't make it the best slicer in my opinion , but it does offer a sturdiness that can be desirable in a hard use utility knife .
My Orange Delica that I modified and another Hap40 that was modified after I stupidly snapped the tip of the blade off are some of my favorite knives .

Are the blades stonewashed or bead blasted ?

They're bead blasted. Yes, I could easily mod one if I desired to. I got mine from Country Knives. Paid way too much - got the HAP 40 there too. Don't think I need a khaki that much. MSRP plus exchange to Canada, plus shipping, plus a stupid Western Union money wire, plus the cost of that. Sorry for that little rant.
- best wishes, Jazz.
