Yours doesnt really show the busy lateral striping and pattern of a knoblochi. Some pyromelana pyromelana (AZ Mtn King) also have side striping to make things more confusing. There are also knoblochi/pyro pyro crosses out there.It's a nice pyro, and it may be a knoblochi, but my guess is that it's a nice, reduced black, AZ Mtn King.

Yea, I agree. From the top it looks like a knob, but it doesn't have the zig-zag lateral stripe.
