Good morning, all!
Did I stumble across a prototype Marksman? They first appeared in the catalog in 2014. This one is date coded 2013. There are several other differences from my other Marksmans, as well. There is a star after the 154CM, and the blade is not marked G&G Hawk Collaboration. The pivot bolt is a hex head vice a Torx, same for the scale screws. There is a difference in the rectangle that adjusts the locking bar, and a difference in the finish of the locking bar. There are grinder/buffer striations on the blade that the regular production knives don't have. The grind of the tip is different when viewed from the thin side. The scalloped thin section of the locking bar is placed differently.
Has anyone else found a 2013 Marksman, or one with these differences?
