Is that not a pic of the old version?

I thought Gerber revamped the MP series with a new knife blade. Didn't think they changed the finish. Could just be the lighting on the photo.

(Not my pic. Posted by Dunc in a previous thread)

Interesting. The finish looks 'rough'.

That does look different.  Not sure if I like it or not, but it is different.

Hello Duncan - It's the way the photo makes it look. It's still the MP400 that is made here in the US.
