Looks like a great bar. Having just made the jump to training the Oly lifts (with a goal of becoming competitive in the Masters division) from recreational powerlifting, I love that your bar has the center knurl along with both powerlifting and weightlifting knurl marks. This is a great aid as you're learning your new grips widths for the snatch and the clean & jerk. I'm looking at getting my own bar in the next year or so, and this will be a top contender. Semper fi.

Yep!

I just use the corps bar yesterday, but I would like to give my hands on this one

Good "bar-gain" I see what you did there.

Never seem an “Olympic” barbell with a center knurling. Looks more like a power bar.

A men's competition bar will have the center knurling; a women's competition bar is lacking it. It's a throwback to when the single-arm snatch was a competition lift. (And, by the way, the single-arm snatch is one of the most bad ass lifts.)
