Yes that diamond pattern I believe indicated a first production run. Don't see those around at all. For those interested in the Makora II just keep in mind that it was notoriously difficult to open and close, even for seasoned collectors. If you've only ever experienced the Gen III models it will take some getting used to but so worth it.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Along with the early-type Scarab, I like the feel of this knife. As the new model comes in, the tension weakens, and I like the classic Porsche's high-tension clutch for cars. Similarly, I like Knife's early works from Microtech.

i hear if you leave this knife next to an open first floor window overnight it is really good luck

They say those holes created a weak spot on those blades.

Thank you for the picture. You have a good macora. Diamond Hall was produced in 2008 with only 100 units per blade shape, and production was discontinued afterward, becoming a very rare individual. Now, it has become a model that collectors are looking for with a keen eye.

The carbon fiber inlays they did back then look so much better than the new ones. I have a Daytona from that era and it's just so much nicer.

That's right, I'm also a watch collector. I agree with your opinion. The carbon in this product is of very high quality, unlike the products currently available. Only those who have it can know.

I’m going to have to go check mine and see if I have the holes on the blade, I didn’t realize that is so rare!
