They have the same deal on the regular and thumbhole omega. If I were you I would get one of the longer barreled versions. The new one just has a 24" barrel. These knives are nice. I got one with my Revolution. It was the half serrated with gut hook. I looked back in an old cabelas book and they did sell for 49.99. Good Luck on what you choose!!!!

Omega regular: The stainless laminate is just 479.99 regular price. This would be my choice and its cheaper.
