Does this have the new stone blasted blade?

It's a great, sharp blade; but will tend to rust if not kept dry and maybe oiled. I've had mine for years and it's still rockin!

It's not high polish, looks more like the brad blasted that gerber use for a while. It does rust if I don't treat it. Inactually started using turtle wax on it after cleaning and that keeps it blemish free.

I just received mine (serial #8883) and it does have the new steel lock bar insert. This is now the standard build for the knife according to the Zero Tolerance catalog. Lockup is at a perfect 50% with flawless centering and zero blade play.

Hello, Unfortunately no, we do not currently carry the blade that you are looking for. Sorry!

Yes, a blade comes with it. However, you will need to order additional ones as they do not last long.

No it's a solid blade. The one I received also had a straight blade as opposed to the curved one in the photo. I didn't really care though.

Yes, it does but I purchased a better blade so be prepared to do this depending on what type of job you are doing wth this tool. A

the one I bough does not. there are collectors' editions that do have "sod buster" and "sod buster jr." printed on the blade however. I have one of each.

I just purchased this from The Outdoor People and received the latest model with carbide replaceable wire cutter blades. I asked this question and was disappointed I didn't receive what I felt were acceptable answers. I also feel Amazon and the sellers should respond with help. That is what customer service is about!

I wish that it were. No, this is a circular grinding stone and steel cutters. It does a decent job with the different grinds but is NOT for the burr grinder purist.

Yes it does! This is one of my favorite Cold Steel machetes. It came the sharpest out of the box than any of the other ones I own. It works well.

I honestly don't recall, I opened in haste but also bought those Astra blades along with it. So really didn't pay close.attention. order some just in case. It might have come with a small sample pack if any...great though, still is going strong!

The one I received did not come with a Diablo blade -that said, it may have been a private-labeled Diablo blade (if there is such a thing). The blade, as pictured, said SkilSaw on it.

Confirmed, my blade is printed with the name, not on the hand, BUT the design and feel and functionality of my EDC was not affected and I have been using it everyday since I received it and am still VERY happy with my purchase :)

Yes, It comes with a standard use blade, Different tasks and materials use different blades though. good luck and enjoy it!

Yes. part of the new blade. This new blade is serving me very well after several groomings.

I'm unsure if they have changed the design, however, the one I order awhile back does have CPM-D2 on the blade

No, It does not. The ones with that image on them are copies of the original. This is an authentic knife it comes with the proper box as well. Well worth it.
