I wasn't aware of reverse stamped ones, that is interesting. Can you show a picture of them?

I have some 1st Gens and a Prototype, didn't know about the reverse tang stamps. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I just finished a book for Cooper Cutlery. I would have loved a copy of this pic for that. Look for it next year.

Re: 1st gen battle axe reverse tang stamp knives
Just got this one from another member, I'm really happy to be carrying it. Didn't know it had the reverse stamp until it arrived. It rides in my pocket and slices all the same, but it's a fun additional feature on an already awesome knife. I'll be looking to add the Conqueror, their coke bottle pattern, in somewhere down the line now.
