Thread: Manufacturer XXXX out. Does anyone know which?

Can anyone tell me who the manufacturer might be?

Blade looks good, it shaves.... it has a small grind mark near spine

Original bone handle ground like it was an attempt to remove pivot pin.

Second question:
When would they have crossed out the name? after they put the handle on?

I am hoping the reject was due to the handle discoloration.

Thanks as always for your great wealth of knowledge. I sure appreciate it!
