Is this knife a yellow comp or a flat yellow

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

It is almost impossible to tell if it is flat yellow due to the background . I am going with regular yellow composition simply because I suspect that it may be purposely "camouflaged" . The link is shown below .

If flat refers to the handle finish, that one isn't. Besides, Case started using Delrin in 1964.

Hi all......... I am at a confused, the back ground, the seller does not know, yet if you look it
seems more yellow than a yellow comp. Will ask the seller to post other pictures, if that will
help. Mint there is 25$ more for the flat yellow.
Thanks for the input

I vote normal yellow. I would think that the flat yellow would show up as a brighter yellow even with those poor pics and yellow background.

You should try to get better photos to be certain, but that one to me looks more glossy and less flat.
