Carbon CX C110 2022 - Question about name = CX-Scout.

[Glint Eastwood]

I bought this a few years back. Its a nice razor. I was never curious about the base plate engraving and only yesterday I noticed mine said "CX-Scout". I "researched" with chat GPT and it tells me that the C110 CX was a very limited razor and the Scout word was likely some reference to the military phonetic alphabet. However - try as I might, I cannot find the use of SCOUT to represent S in the phonetic alphabet.

Any ideas guys? Is my CX C110 genuine, rare or both? Is it a one off?

If it’s the CX-CU then “Each razor is individually identified with a unique designation inspired by history.” The S1 handle is the tribute to the Fairborn style fighting knife” hence an Armed Forces Scout.
Hope of some help

Ps; it looks a bit faded, I’ll give you $20 (that’s Aussie $) for it
