Yeah the Proof Run had the flute on the top still. However my newer APNC version doesn't. Its a bit of a bummer, but still a good knife and the 6th in my Scarab II collection, 2nd of the GEN3. 🤠👍 Although side note, their Marfione Customs don't have any fluting at all. 😮 I have a few of those also.
