Knifecenter's the only place that I've seen the black and gold--the gold accents add nicely to the look. I didn't know the Rainbow Leek came with a zipper case. I'm not a real "colorful" person so I never took to the Rainbow Leek, but it I do think that they did a nice job with it. What I want to see is a mirror polished, boron coated version of the Leek like the Chive has.
