Gents,
Just a quick observation. Am I the only one to see that in Gladiator's closeup the recess in the grip is too large for the diamond? I could be wrong, but on the ones I have (and have seen) the diamond always fits the grip recess closely.
This happens to be a "solid red", but I would have said the same if it were a pebbled version. I'm just thinking the diamond isn't original to the grip (a replacement).
As for the relic condition knife, I'm just not convinced. I have NEVER seen a pristine conditioned HJ with a solid red diamond, there must be a reason for that. They simply can not be so "elusive" in such a commonly available knife...
