2024 GEC 78 Bullet End Barlow

Someone must know the error in the Rozee knives….. I have looked and looked and they seem fine to me…..?!
 
The tube art is not a few hundred pieces causing Bill to produce a knife, that's done after the fact. Joan Mae said it is in the picture but someone had to point it out to her. I guessed the swedge, she said nope.

Really loving mine and it hasn’t left my pocket since its arrival. Except to leather treat the slip 😆

Hard to say - scrutinize as I might, I can't find anything out of sorts unless these are knives that simply were supposed to be something different. Maybe the Delrin slabs weren't supposed to be inlet with the same shield as the Cocobolo? Maybe they weren't supposed to have shields at all and they were indeed meant to be that F&F "Barlow" that folks have been asking for?
 
All I can think is that they weren’t supposed to have that shield (or any shield) or that they were meant to be double bladed like every other in the run.
 
Perhaps they thought they had more of those whiskey barrel slabs and made enough blades to make more knives but ran out of material? I could see the leftover blades getting paired up with some leftover delrin real quick?

No thumb showing on the right hand. Makes for a weird looking hand hold/position to my eye. Or it could be that there are only 2 tattoos on the blade etch vs 4 on the tube art and also the button.

What’s up with that etch?

"This particular 78 was built to our exact specifications by Great Eastern Cutlery . . . . . . . Piasa Bird etch...based on local legend, the Piasa Bird mural painted on the bluffs of the Mississipi River was first documented by Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet during their journey in 1673. Father Marquette wrote of the bird that "was as large as a calf with horns like a deer, red eyes, a beard like a tiger's, a face like a man, the body covered with green, red and black scales and a tail so long it passed around the body, over the head and between the legs." The bird was given its name by the Illini Indians, "The Piasa", meaning a "bird that devours men" or "bird of the evil spirit"."
