    Maybe they didn't originally, but they do now. The link is the UK Cold steel site but the info comes from the US site...

    Here is a bit of info on the original...

    ...and on a lighter note...

    WOW, I really like these knives

    If I was offered any one of them I would be dead chuffed, although the burl handled ones are particularly nice

    Lovely work, the ricasso is bit too wide for my taste but otherwise, well done.
    Mr.Wirkkala would be proud, I think.

    Simply elegant. Given a choice between a $20,000 wristwatch and one of these beauties.....
    I'd go with the knife every time.
    Thank you for sharing.
