Im pretty sure they originally came with parkerized but either will work.

We shouldn't have painted clips on any of our knives...

I bought mine in November 2005 and it came from BM with a painted clip.

Both of my 806D2 came in parkerized and 1 806SD2 came parkerized, the other painted. Earlier ones were parkerized and the later ones were painted.

Also, I agree with Joe. We shouldn't have painted clips at all. I really dislike the paint rubbing off...

They can have either clip, depending on when they were made.

I'm with you.
I think the parkerized sure look a lot better after hard use

My 806 was painted but I replaced it with a nice patina'd parked clip.
