How can you tell which one you've got? I bought my DM at Knob Creek this past Saturday at the Busse table. The receipt just says "Dumpster Mutt". It's a plain edge in desert tan. I got it for $69 . . .

Except for the color and based on the price, it sounds as if you may have gotten one of the original DMs . (All the original DMs were Black/Black.) Quick way to find out is to check the grind. If it's sabre ground, it's based on the original DM. If it's flat ground, it's a variant. Post a pic and we'll be able to tell you.

It's one like they've had since the Fall 2008 Knob Creek, "new" Res-C handles as opposed to the original recycled Basic handles. At the Fall 2008 show they were priced at $89.95, but then (I think at Blade), they were sold as a $69.95 show special, and that's been the price at all the shows I've seen them at since. I bought the Tanker gray in this picture at KC:

I also scored the middle Vex at KC (it was the only Vex they had); I already had the top green linen Vex from the July 2009 Lardoganza.
