Digicamo: Alt und neu Vergleich / Digicamo: old and new comparison



  • In 2004 Strider introduced this type of coating on their GB liner lock as far as I know.
    The first series digi camo coated SMFs are most likely produced in 2005.
    This is one of them since it also has the no longer done BOS heat treat stamp.






    Since I also own a new type digi camp finish SMF, I made this picture series to show the differences.
    The Desert Tan with darker blade is the old style while the Coyote Brown the current style.
    You can also recognize the Tan SMF age by the old Ti flaming and the original Hinderer LBS disk.







    The old style coating has less laser added parts, and it shows more black oxide.
    Current variant is more wear resistant and most of the blade is covered with laser coating.




    If anyone knows more on this DC finish, dates, variants etc.. please do post your info and pics.
    Thanks for looking and correct me if I am wrong on any info.


    Cheers,
    Wouter

  • Thanks for the side by side comparison, great job. :thumbup:
    Personaly I prefer the old camo design and I'm really glad to own one with this pattern.
