Vit- Is yours the stainless version?

I've had a few different camp type knives pass through my hands over the years. Most of them have now been traded.

No, it is carbon steel. Stainless version was made on a pattern 5779 and started circa 1987-88.

I love the old NIB knives, and I try to every one of my knife was like this :wink:
For me it's like a time machine. I take in hand a knife and see it exactly the same what it was 20-30-40 years ago :roll:
