Eye Brand started using pattern numbers, or letters on this model, in 1979. This copperhead likely dates from that up until the mid to late 80s. ::tu::

Paladin, Thanks for the info! I dont think the blades are made of stainless like the link above says ,they patina too fast. This knife is a work horse. I carry it everyday and show it no mercy. ::tu:: Jason

Jason,
For sure it is carbon steel and that is what the old Eyes were known for, a working man's knife. Their carbon steel was some of the best ever.
