If W968 is not commercial, why they put a sticker on it? Do CNT players need to check authenticity?
To the experts: does this look real?
thanks?
Where?
You mean this blade couldn't have been produced on 25th of December 2018?
According to the photos you uploaded above, this one is from the newest batch of provincial version. By the way, some countries don't celebrate Christmas, probably China is the biggest one I guess.
Thanks Chen Chen. I'll tell you what my concern is regarding that blade:
Look at that photograph. Now, look at the other W968 I bought (photo is eight posts below this one). The fonts are very different but both are apparently, same type blade (provincial, wide handle). More importantly, they both were manufactured 5 days apart! One on Dec 25 2018 and the other on Dec 30 2018.
How can the same model blade manufactured 5 days apart have such a different font style?
That is not the concern - both the blades have narrow fonts. One is thin and the other is not. Both are provincial (serial numbers end with an E)From what I understand wider font on the HL-engraved versions marks the commercial version, narrower font is Provincial version.
