Thanks Doug. I wasn't really disappointed, just surprised. Thought maybe other people might be disappointed, which is why I mentioned it.

No, I don't expect something colored yellow to stay pristine in my pocket, no matter what it's made out of. My yellow mini-RSK has a thin coating of grey/brown something, and it doesn't bother me.

That's right, I'm fully ETS compliant- I have the PSP (given several to family also), an RSK, a mini-RSK, and now a couple DR photons. I'll probably buy the new fixed blade knife when it's available too.
