May i see the stamping on the other side please?
Yep, but if you look at the edge of the knife, you'll see a gold-type reflection that may be affecting the rivet's color. The only reason I say this is that the finish on the knife (photo at top of thread) shows a beautiful enamel finish that is significantly better looking than the matte black of my Carbon Vs. Still, I could be wrong.The pic is of a carbon-V model—notice the brass colored rivet securing the handle. Stainless (AUS-8, etc) models all, to my knowledge, use silver colored rivets.

I found Carbon V to hold an edge better than AUS8.How does the new AUS-8 Recon Tanto compare to the Carbon V models?
