Self Honing Knife Case Question

In summary, a self-honing knife case is a storage solution for kitchen knives that also sharpens them every time they are used or stored. It uses built-in ceramic sharpening rods to gently sharpen the blade as the knife is slid in and out of the case. The case is designed for use with straight-edge kitchen knives and is not dishwasher safe. The sharpening rods are long-lasting but should be replaced every 1-2 years if they become less effective. Cleaning should be done by wiping the case with a damp cloth and drying thoroughly, avoiding submerging it in water or putting it in the dishwasher.

Anyone know how long ago did our self honing knives cases change from white to black, has it been farther than 5 years?
 
The white case was a sharpener not a honing tool. Not sure when they changed.
 
It is difficult to determine exactly when the change from white to black self honing knife cases occurred as it may have varied between different brands and manufacturers. However, based on customer reviews and forum discussions, it appears that the change began around 5-10 years ago. Some users have reported purchasing white cases within the last 5 years, while others have mentioned that their black cases are over 10 years old. It is possible that the change occurred gradually over time, with some manufacturers switching to black cases earlier than others.
