Sounds like the Buck knife fiasco.

Many yrs ago, Buck Knives usta show a Buck knife cutting thru a bolt.
Mine was their largest sheath knife and the logo, showing a Buck knife
cutting thru a bolt, was machine tooled right into the leather sheath.

They later admitted it hadda be a grade 2 or lower bolt and the knife
hadda be hammered thru the bolt. NO grade 5 or 8 bolts, allowed, for
which they would not honor their guarantee. They had so many claims
against them for chipped blades, they dropped both the logo and the
guarantee.
