that's the covertec knob up top. Maybe there are two rods, or they bent one?

Just one threaded rod. Sometimes the mold gets knocked or the resin cures unevenly and will actually shift the threaded rod. It doesn’t take much of an angle for the rod to end up pressing against the mold walls so it’s visible in the resulting casting. Had the same thing happen in a couple of my Obi TPM stunt sabers.

I’m late to the party. Just now realizing my theory wouldn’t be possible with the deep grooves of the QGJ saber. Very interesting!
exactly! I was surprised at how far down it went, almost down to the pommel. I don't know if the stunt sabers needed a rod that deep, who knows but this is a belt hanger!
 
Also looks like that lower threaded rod made them patch the silver area too

I was so surprised to see this announcement today, made my weekend! I have this feeling that Halliwax knew this was coming but just snowballed us all...
