2020 6207SS with strange shield

[Buck Casey]

I just bought this 2020 6207SS with a shield that can't find anywhere else. Does anyone else have a Case with this shield?

Here is a better picture of the Shield. The scales are a dark purple color

Sornetimes referred to as the “winged” shield. First appeared in early 2000s, around 2003 IIRC. There were at least three different versions, the difference being what was stamped on the shield.. There’s the one you have, another having the letters “WRC”, and another one I can’t recall. They have appeared on several different patterns and handle cover colors and jigging but I can’t tell you what the rhyme or reason is for when and where it’s used. Maybe someone else knows.

Edit: I just looked it up on knifedb.com. The third winged shield was stamped “XX” - should have known!

Thanks guys! I'm still such a novice at this. The different shields are interesting to me
