gotta disagree. there may be 5 or 6 carapo (gymnotus) knives that haven't been id'ed yet, but there are at least 32 which have been.

So what's the ID on these guys? I didn't realize all the Carapo's were ID'ed to Scientific names, I figured it was a bunch of mis-understanding like the Stingrays.. Very interesting thread you linked there.
 
Just looking at it, I'd have to say gymnotus tigre because of the pattern of white stripes flanked by dark stripes on each side.
 
My tiger knives. I think I have two variations of G. Tigre, the red kind of yellow kind.
This is the red a few months ago
