Does anyone know if Amazon is shipping the version with the old, smooth finish, or the new, rougher finish?

The one I received has the newer rough finish. It is a well made knife and case I carry it every day.

Its only the new rough finish but its still a grate knife to have. I've used it a lot and is also easy to sharpen. Came with about 6' of paracord and nice then sheath.

The one I got has the rougher finish on it, but I actually like it more. The para cord it comes with does not seem to be real 550 tho. Not a big deal since you can get virtually any color at your local Walmart for 3.99$

J, mine arrived with smooth edges all the way around the blade. The corners were rounded and blade end edge was slightly beveled and smoothed. Mine was not rough on any of the blade edges (end or outer edges).

i just received my order yesterday but have not opened the box because the model pictured on amazon is not the exact model they are shipping out. look at the handle bars, the seat, and the breaking mechanism. these are all different. seems like they are shipping out an older version of the same model. I contacted customer service and told them to change the picture yesterday but no change yet. they did reply quickly and told me i could return it as they do not have the model pictured. my first real bad experience with amazon, not cool.

The one I bought a year or so ago is from Korea, and is glossy with the shiny hardware. I was surprised but got used to it. My old one I sold was from China, and was the matte finish.

The "old version" had different colored buttons, I believe. The base also changed shapes slightly between versions. I bought this one, not the old version, and it was the latest one being sold by Contour.

Thanks for your inquiry! I do believe the model is the older style. With that said it could be the more flimsy style. Thanks and have a great day!!!

I also purchased the Surge multi-tool with the black oxidized finish. Mine was not shiny either. It had a somewhat "oily" coating that did seem a little smudged but now after use looks just fine. It definitely should not have come with scratches on it however. I use the multi-tool everyday. It has taken a beating and just keeps on going. To me a few scratches would not have been a huge deal because, as a tool, I know that I will be adding some scratches as my own during use. But if the scratches bother you, I'm sure that would be a good enough reason to return it. Some advice though: do not return it and get something different. This is by far the best multi-tool that I have ever owned!

The one I ordered was satin finish. In my experience it is typical for a manufacturer to provide a "stock" photo that may not be in the same finish as ordered. I always go by the description myself.

I don't know anything about a "new and I improved" version, but the one I I bought was cheaply made and arrived broken when shipped. Save your money and buy a quality product - I purchased something better at Best Buy.

Yes just checked packaging...it states "smooths and protects with chromium surface". It is a smooth finish. Hope this hlps

The version I got after buying is 3.8. Dunno why the picture is different. Maybe the seller ran out of 3.8 cause I believe I got one of the last ones.

hi -Ive been looking online as well. I found a thread on conceptart.org and it looks like the clear replacement IS a smooth one. I'm actually about to order one, if you want to wait a week or so, ill report back to confirm if this is true ;pit's a lead at least, so im gonna see if it's true or not

I've heard that it varies. Mine did not ship with the most up to date version.

I ordered the smooth, but got the textured shipped to me by mistake, but I chose to keep it, it looks great with the textured finish and the paint is much more resistant to scratches than the smooth finish, I had it for a while now and I don't have a single scratch on it. Hope this helps.
