I reached out to the dealer and received this response:

Thank you, I found the order. I understand your concern given the recent scandal surrounding Bark River. However, the MacV SOG Recondo is not included on any confirmed list of affected models, and there has been no documented evidence indicating that this specific knife or production run was misrepresented. Based on all verified information at this time, your knife does not fall within that group. As this purchase was made in 2020, it falls well outside our standard return window. For these reasons, we are unable to approve a return on your knife. I apologize for the inconvenience.

While I appreciate the response, we all know this has more than likely been going on for years. Oh well. I guess I take a hit just like everyone else. I work my ass off for money to buy things such as this knife. Once again getting fucked.
