All About Pocket Knives

Guys,
I am attaching photos of a 2007 Muskrat I got in the recent purchase. This is a knife that has never been carried, used, etc. and it has a round shield with the image of an anchor and XX. In our research area and under shields, I can't find anything like it. I will add that it came in a real Case box but sort of a generic Case box in that there was no label on the box.
Has any one run across this shield before and can you tell me about it?

Ray

There are others.

I guess the nautical shield was done to match the teak handles since that wood is ubiquitous on boats for decking and trim.

Truth is, I didn't know it was teak. I was aware that teak was used in boats and since this is stainless, I guess it would work out.

I sure appreciate your input guys.

They replaced the deck on I think it was the USS Texas and you could obtain teak from the original deck(could be wrong on which ship). I wonder if it was a commemorative knife from something like that?
