Knives with Contradictory Dates

On KnifeDB.com in the knife search page you can open “Other Features”. In this group is a box marked “Contradictory Dates”. If you click this box and search you will see 498 contradictory date knives. If you wonder what they are, then here is a great example. The blade work says “Decision 2000”, and shows Al Gore and George W. Bush. The spey says “Battle for the White House”, These imply that the President has not yet been chosen. But if you look at the tang stamp, it dates the blade to 2001, which is the year after the election is over. Become a member of KnifeDB.com and you can see 498 different knives like this. And that would be a remarkable collection.
