Does anyone know the approximate era that they started using brass liners instead of steel? Have several knives that I'm trying to narrow down when they were made.
Thanks~

No one replied but I kinda found the answer from MB in one of his posts about Knives before 1960.

Re: Brass vs Steel liners
In most cases pre 1920.But during WWII knives were made with steel liners due to a shortage of brass.
