Bill, I thought that might be the case. Several things bothered me.
Mark placement
Mark font
blade finish
handle finish
Lanyard grommet material
I did purchase the knife to get it out of circulation. I loosened the scales last night. There was a black line next to the scale and it looked like it might be a sharpie mark. Turned-out to be a a piece of paper. One side painted black, the other partially black but showing a corner of "stick writing"! (I'm not really a PC guy).
This particular knife is now off the market forever. If you would like the knife send anywhere for analysis, etc. just LMK.
