One for the collectors-Black Oxide Schrade ST1.

A few days ago I found a couple dozen issues of BLADE magazine at a thrift store for $0.25 an issue and snagged them all. They date from 1999-2000 and in one of these issues there is an advert for a Monteng (a major distributor of knives) special Black Oxide Schrade ST1. This is the first I've heard of this variation and was curious if anyone (paging Bob to the general forum  ) knows if they were actually produced and released.

The same issue also features a SOG knife with a Spyderco compression-style lock that appears not to have ever been released for sale so I'm curious if this ST1 variant ever made it into the hands of the public.

I don't have a scanner but I'll work on taking a picture of the ad.

Pics are up!
