In my opinion this is just 2020 again. my 2020 also has a 2021 mold because It was made in January

I finally opened this up on my PC in 4k. It makes a huge difference. The razor finish is pretty impressive. I need one.

I reached out to Murat about the razor. Murat speaks pretty good English, but not perfect, which is OK because I am limited by my ability to comprehend it at times.

If I understand his comments correctly, the Master Collection is not a production razor. It is created by his hand alone, no other hand in his shop touches the razor. As such, quantities will certainly be limited. Pricing will be in line with 2020 model. Call it $700.

Thanks to Frl2 for the heads up. Much appreciated my friend.

Lol,  I'm already trying to think ahead on that one buddy, 'cause I'd like to have the titanium version also.

So Im going to quote myself here and correct my opinion. I spoke to Murat in Turkish and got some clarification on this master class. 

The handle is 5mm longer than the 2021 (just under .25") 
the finishing is slightly improved(id say more than slightly looking at the video). 
stand included
gold-plated ring
weight is 140 grams ( 2021 136g, 2020 188g for reference)
Still cant figure out what the head is. Looks closer to a 2021, but he said it more closely resembles a 2020. hybrid? my confusion? no clue. 
back to 2020 price.

Anytime my friend. Always happy to share what goes on in the community, especially with what Murat does, he's got a special talent.

So he's personally overseeing this project, ah so one can say it is a limited edition release, gotcha.

Thanks for the clarification, didn't know there were actually so many changes. You have my interest piqued, I will need to look at the 4k video closer.

The finishing is definitely improved, the brushed finish looks like it has finer grain.

The laser etching on the top cap and gold dial looks darker and sharper as well, compared to my 2020.

Very limited release, I would think. In the world of folding knives, this is a "bench custom", meaning straight from the makers bench. A production pocket knife from a well know bladesmith might cost you $400-$1000. A custom from the man himself can range from $1500-$5k+. Heck, I've seen a couple of $10k knives. I dunno how many employees are at Rocnel, but these MC's will come straight from the source.

Thanks for the clarification. Now I get what you are saying and I will have to revisit the video to see if I notice any differences in the head.

5mm longer on the handle sounds great to me.

I am pretty sure I have secured one of the first ones and am excitedly waiting. Glad I got in the front of the line. I sometimes miss IG posts. Glad you brought this one to the fore.

Wow, that sounds amazing. I have a buddy who is into collecting swords and knives. Out of his collection what really stood out to me were those Marfione knives, they are works of art indeed.
