I have seen several members show those, however it looks as if the toe on yours is chipped-off?
Here! Also a discussion on 'swaged' I think!

I would not go so far as to say rare. It is a bit of an odd one though. I suspect that it was a short lived item. They are around but not plentiful like so many of their models. I also agree there is something unusual with the toe, like it has been stubbed.

Looks like it's been modified, the toe would not be conducive to stropping without potentially damaging the strop in my opinion. Originally Posted by GabrielMartin

Looking at the one in question along with Andrew's I think it probably was chipped and reshaped, but I could be wrong,
I was wrong once before ......
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Yeah, did not say it was rare, asked if it was?
