No need for concern, you stole it. You could buy knives for me any day. And yes, the 2007 is when it was made.

Hello miss8ball***____the knife is indeed a 2007 year of production_it's a #73 Pattern Trapper Scout,Charcoal Jigged Buffalo Bone scales_3 3/4 in.__ 1095 carbon steel blades___the number 064 is the serial number of your knife to production totals,hence #064 of 98 pcs. made with that Charcoal handles ???____ "pattern production finale",was to signify,the last run, of that pattern knife with that handle material, GEC was running__they have not made anymore of that particular knife since 2007___when the company first started, they would run so many knives of a pattern,with different handle materials / colors then change to another pattern,but didn't start the serial numbers over,---rather kept counting totals (I'm confused too !!!! :) ) ____and I agree,with Mark about the price ::tu:: the 2007 knife below,is for sale @ $75 at a dealer, right now!!!! ** great buy and nice knife !!!__________Monk ::tu::
