If I remember correctly, these are post-1953 to about 1958 or 1959. Maybe went out of production even earlier than 1958 as there are so few of the relatively.

I’ve never seen one like it. It looks to be in very good shape. Thanks for sharing it.

That is very eye-catching!
I assume the blade is either chrome or nickel plated? I have seen some many old knives with the plating worn off. This one is a gorgeous example though!

Beautiful knife! I had to zoom in to see if that was blood on the top, I guess you had a red shirt on and it reflected lol.
