Question about the CRKT Ripple Blue K405BXS

[Iagent]

I bought this knife online as New. I have no doubt that it is new and authentic, but I was wondering if the coloring should be better. I was expecting a deep blue, but instead, one of the scales actually looks aqua. Has anyone else seen one of these in person to tell me if mine is normal, or color compromised.
Thanks,

It looks off to me. Maybe it is a Wal-mart version. Ken Onion would be very disappointed!

No, walmart never sold this model, but it was definitely a product of mass production without much QC.
I still like it though, despite the varying colour. Everything else is top notch.

Bought a couple mo

It's really a pretty cool knife, actually.

My 2 cents is there is always some variation when electron anodizing. It's a Blue and .........

My Hardcore 2 x 72" Knife grinder is two to three slightly different shades of blue from the Anodizing of the machined Aluminum parts. Works like a Gem and has never even burped!
And your problem is?
