ELMAX or EL MAX?

[Bellyededge]

While playing with my new 0560 the other day, I noticed something new. The blade was stamped EL MAX, and not ELMAX as my 0561. Have Kershaw changed how they spell it, or do I own a rare 0560 with a missprint?

Its a slight misprint. no biggie.

KAI stated, that some knives had that typo. I think El Max sounds cooler.

I think Max was doing all of the lasering and got carried away.

Yup El Max blades are very few, so if you ask me its kind of a LE

I think you got the limited edition,extremely rare Mexican version: EL MAXO

I am...El Max! *dun dun dun*

So the BK9 is the "KING", and the 0560 it the Mexican "MAX". Why not call it the "MAD MAX"?

sorry to say, it means the HT is way off, for safety's sake send it to me for safe disposal!

My 0560 says EL MAX. My wife wonders why I call it "THE Max".

The one I received yesterday is "El Max" and is s/n 4776.

 

[stebolicious]

Uh Oh... this is the first sign of outsourcing :/ I believed in you Kershaw!

 

[D animal]

I have an El Max too!

Just received an "EL MAX" 0560, S/N 4437. The lock-bar cutout at the blade-tip end is a bit different than any I'd seen before, too.
