I found a knife being sold as a Limited Edition Griptilian. It's etched with "Limited Edition" and "082/100" below. It's a partially serrated MDP/551 geometry blade with a BT/BK coating. 440C means that it's older than 2006.

I realize it could be a fake, but the rep of the seller and the pics suggest that it's probably real.

So in short: anyone know what makes this a LE? Anything special? Were they trying out a coating that later became standard production?

And man, it looks more beaten up than a knife that's been run over 5x with a truck.

Thanks!

It's got me beat.

Looks real though.
