This is a very special MEN. It is available in both Machine stitched or Hand stitched. You can choose from either a black IBB Aluminum Gane or a black TAC Titanium Gane (Grill) and black painted Buchi to give this MEN an overall black look. Both IBB and TAC Gane (Grill) have the characteristics where weight distribution tends to be more balanced than regular MEN. The weight is distributed toward the upper part of the Gane. The color will not fade on the Gane as the color is infused into the metal.
