I spoke to Steve about getting the Rachel with the black wrinkle finish and he said that is was coming later this year and I believe the white gloss was giving them problems ... so this leads me to believe they may switch to all to black wrinkle OR have both options as some people already have the white gloss and would probably want to pair there gear up with whatever finish they have.

However, just speculating at this point, but I do know the Rachel will be available with black finish in the not too distant future.

Steve told me awhile back, not too long after Zenfest when I was discussing a Torii build with him, that everything was going to the hammered black finish - as soon as existing stock in the white was exhausted.
