I can tell from the pins that the knife has been rehandled. It looks like they've been sanded down a lot too judging from the lack of pattern and some sort of attempt to re-jig them. Maybe they thought the "Tested" blades would distract from the huge crack near the shield as well as the bad rehandle.
