Benchmade Mel Pardue 850... Fake or just production change?

Hello, I've been looking everywhere tried contacting Mel Pardue and even sent an email to Benchmade. All the images of 850's have micarta back spacers but the one I purchased online has a stainless steel back spacer, other than that the knife looks to be authentic. I was wondering if there are fake rainbow titaniums out there or if this could have been a change in build/design during 97-01 production. Any knowledge you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

It is either a aftermarket add on, or a special run for a dealer , it is
Common to see different spacer etc... On benchmades.
