GEC 29 Osage Orange PPP Orientation?

[vintagebob]

Check your GEC 29 Osage Orange blade for the PPP orientation and vote in the Poll.

My PPPs are reversed.

Very COOL!
I have seen another etch applied in reverse, but not a PPP etch. I wasn't able to get a 29 so can't compare. Interested to see if there are others too.

There was a Grits w/ Butter in the #29 thread that apparently also had a reversed etch. Got to wonder how many are out there based on that.
Mine is Osage.

My acrylic #29 is reversed as well.

Interesting. I had not considered that but I guess it makes sense. They probably run the blades in large batches and they are not assigned a knife until later?

So you guys made me go look and sure enough, ol' Grits and Gravy is reversed!

The etching is almost the last step if not the last before packaging them up, even after the quality control inspection I believe.

Had to go check, my GB&M is reversed also. Must have been a screwup with the early part of the run.

Great thread !
As some know mine is reversed on my Osage all others are correct .

Reverse P - sounds like a cattle ranch. GEC should make it a label

 

[NHHunter]

I just checked my coffee-house acrylic and the 3 P's are correctly aligned.

Be sure to keep them MIT.

It's not reversed, it's bbb.

Edit: my Osage is reversed.

 

[JA5544]

My Osage is reversed.

 

[vintagebob]

Interesting results so far. Just as many normal as reversed.

Maybe normal PPPs will actually end up being more rare! ; )

 

[vintagebob]

Reversed PPPs take the lead.

Is that because folks with the normal etch are not voting?

My osage and GBM both are reversed.View attachment 1196179

Reversed "P's" here

 

[pistonsandgears]

My maple 29 has the correct P orientation, is it just the grits and osage that got reverse etches?

 

[TheFactor]

Reversed PPPs take the lead.

Is that because folks with the normal etch are not voting?

Maybe the correct orientation was the error ?
