The engraved yo-yo appears to be a Crucible. ---

On the lower section of the rim is a cut that resembles the Crucible. Easier to see on the left of photo. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/f/6/9f6b7bfc39e7165b2cc17234aaf37142220a4b78.jpeg) ---

Holding a crucible up to the image, the profile looks a little different, the crucible looks to come inwards sooner, though it’s 10,000% unscientific. Edit: I am indeed wrong ---

Thanks for that guys On team crucible now given the evidence For the record I wouldn’t rule out the summit 2 though. The first draft is a different version of the yoyo so making comparisons to the first draft and the unseen production run is unfair. ![17763869023602665287506425182521](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/4/d/34de87c51b1887c409e9ee463df37144d11002ee.jpeg) It may be the lighting but this image also shows a faint machine line on the summit 2 in the same area as the crucible. Edit: could also be a placeholder yoyo for now Failure is unknown hasn’t worked with OD for a long time and probably doesn’t realise the full extent of the OD fanbases obsessive ability to identify yoyos ---

Everybody debating or Summit 2 and Crucible, and I’m just thinking about how funny it would be to have Hunter x Hunter and Louis Vuitton inspiration on the same yoyo. Surely these designs have to be for two different yoyos, or the LV styled Unknown logo was unrelated, and the Summit 2 engraving similarity is just a coincidence. ---
