Bull Nose so far.

Original Test Run:
The biggest difference with this knife is that it has a much tougher pull in comparison to the new runs, it's probably a 7, while the others slack off a bit.
The grinds have all been really great, a nice little edge that pops hair very well. The fit around the pivot pin is lacking in comparison to the next run of knives, but this was a test run and is open for criticism.

Black Bull:
This knife also have a slightly strange fit around the pivot pin. It looks as though thy used a dark glue to fill in the gapes surrounding the pin. It hasn't damaged it's functionality and I doubt it will be a problem later on.
The biggest difference is of course the scale color. The Pull on this one is about a 4.

Red Neck Farm Tool:
Inspecting the pivot pin, I see the fit is perfect. No gaps and no signs of glue used as a filler. Very nice finish for this one.
Biggest differences include the Red Neck, stamp on the pivot pin and the tang stamp. The pull on this one, is probably a 4 1/2. Which is about perfect for me when I'm wearing gloves.

The latest knife was the most affordable so far at about $50. Not bad considering it's the best fitted knife out of them all, but again it's the latest and has seen the most feedback.
And on another note the newest is slightly thicker than the previous knives.

Nice review & pics. ::tu:: Is it just the lighting, or are the orange ones slightly different shades of orange?

Bass, there is an actual difference in color.
I think that maybe pocket time has darkened the first, but I can't be entirely sure of that. It may be a different material or just a different faze of orange. ::shrug::
