Help dating case xx

Would like someone to give me a accurate date on my Case XX

Your Case canoe (pattern 131) may or may not have any dots under the "U.S.A.". If there are no dots it was made between 1965 and 1969. I think that I might possibly see one dot in your next to last picture, under the "A", but I'm not sure. If you rotate the primary blade slowly back and forth to all positions you might be able to see if any dots are present under the "U.S.A.". If there is one dot, that indicates 1979. If all 10 dots are present, that means 1970. If there are between 1 and 10 dots, you can easily figure out the age . To further complicate things, some of these canoe knives do have dots under the "U.S.A." but you may not be able to see them because of the blade positioning.
