P,
I doubt WKC made the emblem, probably outsourced that piece to Overhof or one of the other smalls manufacturers.
It is definitely impressive for a late produced piece but maybe it looks better because there's no spotty plating? The unplated finish is consistent and it's pretty well made, especially the blade. Those sawteeth would really give you a nasty gash if you handle it clumsily too.
