I'm not sure if I got a one off but the new finish is inferior to my older RKC Kettlebells. The others have a nice matte finish where my newest one has a shiny finish and looks like a cheaper version. Still a good bell, well balanced and probably still better than most. Got a 7/10 for that reason. By the way, I'm not a weekend warrior, I'm in the fitness industry: trainer for 15 years. I may know something.
