It could be as early as '73... that's about the extent of my knowledge

The blue foam in the box says 70's, nice knife!

I'm with you Billy, after 1973 with that stamping.
I have been looking for a Mint Red bone like that for many years, pre 1970 in a wooden box.
I hope I never fine one, I know I will have to pay big $$$s.

I can only wish these were in my collection... Ken

1985 to be exact, it was part of a three stockman set (the knives above) that was housed in a faux alligator skin hinged jewelry case. It was an SFO for someone but I don't recall the organization.

Thanks Eric, are these knives hard to locate?

It was "Big C Sales" who had the knives done, I knew I'd remember eventually! . There were 2400 of each knife made. You don't see them all that often, but they do turn up every now and then. You have to remember to differentiate between them and the Heritage series knives (tang stamped to that effect), which came out a number of years later.
