Hey Kenneth,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your honest feedback is truly appreciated. You are correct that the knife itself does not have a '2024 Limited Edition' engraving - it's only present on the wood box. Our Product team made the decision to keep the knife itself 'clean' since it has the repeating running W pattern, which is unique and a 2024 limited edition design. We will certainly pass your feedback along to the Product team for consideration on the 2025 Limited Edition knife. Thank you again for your support of King Ranch Saddle Shop. - KRSS Customer Service Team
