UPDATE
So, I spoke with Bill Harsey later in the day, after he had time to seriously look at the knife. Here is what he had to say. These are his words verbatim, used here with his permission.
From Bill:
"After speaking with Tim Reeve, we went over every detail point by point.
Tim thinks the handle may have been color corrected with a filter to make it look cleaner.
WE cam to the conclusion that it probably really the original #0001 knife.
Part of this is based on that exact sized engraving fount used on the original Yarboroughs.
The other details are my exact narrow top swedge and the shape on the master bevel grind at base of blade near handle.Also of note are the number of serrations I hand filed in. More than the CRK production ones that followed.
Chris Reeve Knives is going to try and purchase the knife to keep it off the open market or lose it to a collector."
