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.

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.

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.
