When I am collecting, I always look for the unique ones. I would keep the one with the fluted spine, maybe even put it up somewhere safe. you never know, 10 years from now it could be something worth really having. Maybe your grandchildren would enjoy a collectors piece like that. you never know, who would ever thought that the halos I purchased out of a magazine would be worth so much today.
I am a huge fan of the Apocalyptic finish especially in the Natural Clear bodies. Something for an FYI, the flats on the blade are normally satin finish, no matter if its "Tactical" finish (black blade) or stonewashed or apocalyptic finish. I know this is an old video but if you are getting rid of your fluted apocalyptic version let me know. Thanks...
I think they leave the satin there because of how smooth a finish it is, and that's the area that rides in the chassis, so less friction when deploying and retracting it. I have the Shadow full serrated, and the DLC os on the entire blade as it has even less friction than the satin.
Yep, stinks that they had flutes for the 1st production runs as well. I guess saving penny's not CNC'ing those two flutes out. All my other Scarab II's have flutes in the spine. 😥

I guess it’s just a preference thing. I really like the sleek clean black look of the newer models.
Just got my non fluted scarab. Having an original, I miss it. Oh well.

Just another lightning rip off
Would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids lol
