The tang stamps to '65-69 knives and the '70-79 knives look really close to me, with the exception the '70-79 knives was when the dot code system got started. Since Case usually subtracts dots, to me, that would mean, by my reasoning, and not having seen that many 1979 knives, a 1979 looks exactly like a '65-69.
Anyone got a photo of a '79 knife?
'65-69 vs. '79 No Dot
Re: '65-69 vs. '79 No Dot
A 79 knife has 1 dot.
If no one has posted a picture by this evening I will when I get home.
65 to 69 no dots.

1965-69 USA (no dot) 6207
This is a 1978 2 dot 6207 with the same style stamp (a 1979 stamp would have only 1 dot)"
Here's a 1979 1 dot 5207 with a different style tang stamp:

Re: '65-69 vs. '79 No Dot
Thanks guys. I can't recall where not having any dots came from; but I guess if a knife tang is dirty/rusted/worn, it can be confused for a '65-69 easily.
Some gorgeous knives being shown too!
