instead of "Hammer Forged", like the old etches?

Wording on Etch
Has anyone noticed that the newer style etches say "Hammered Forged"
instead of "Hammer Forged", like the old etches?

Several of the old etches read 'Hammered Forged". I believe that the newer ones just tried to duplicate the old error, if we can call it that.
I'll try to post a photo of one of the old ones.

Re: Wording on Etch
This is an older thread I just found. It´s just coincidence but a few days ago I bought a Schlieper Muskrat knife and saw the etching on the blade. Ok, I am used to the "funny English" of my fellow countrymen and after all the japanese are much better at embarassing "English". Allthough, "...perfect hand job, then as now...." is very close!

Don't know that there is a "perfect hand job" 
Guess it has a lot to do with the finish
