Carbon Sage 1 Clone?

[ChefMacari92]

I've compared it to videos online and the one in my possession seems to be 'off'. Screws seem right. It's the etching of the logo, steel type, and place of manufacturing that throws me off. Other carbon sages have "Taichung" printed above "Taiwan" on the back of the blade. This one clearly does not. Got it in a trade, it was dirty, washed it up, now I'm curious.

Found this thread (viewtopic.php?t=77961) regarding the same topic but there didn't seem to be any conclusion. Please help
