The point here is that the trademark is MUCH farther down the blade than those that appear on the reverse. To me,this indicates the trademark was placed lower intentionally to appear on the obverse. Here is a photo I lifted from an earlier thread. See how close it is to the rear crossguard? If you were to flip my blade around the trademark would be a full inch lower than this one.
