For the June 2021 BOTM, the 2021
date code was not entered into the program/machine during production. The program/machine defaulted to an
Asterisk for the date code.
I believe 1967 is the only other time Buck used an Asterisk for the date code. The asterisk was only used for a few months in 1967. To be very specific (overly specific ?) - the asterisk on the 1967 knives is an elevated
dot in the location an asterisk would be placed. So it was called an asterisk to differentiate it from the common center line dot (Thank you Eveled for this explanation). Read this informative thread -
