Floating Dots in 1985?

[hot tempered steel]

I was unaware that Case used the floating dots on tang stamps back in the 1980s. I've seen and owned many of the Copperlocks with the floating dots. E-bay item #150313096993 shows a 1985 Case knife that has the floating dots tang stamp. I've never seen that blade design on a 165 pattern before. It looks like the larger 72 pattern Bulldog clasp knife blade on a 65 pattern folding hunter frame. Anyone have any info on this knife? SFO knife?

I can't tell you anything about that knife except I, personally haven't seen one like it before.
It's an interesting knife. The blade shape is similar to a Case clasp blade but a bit more clip shaped than a bulldog or buffalo's blade. Definately not the usual folding hunter blade. You can click on the sellers other items for an easy comparison view to the bulldog blade.

Don't know about the floating dots but it is a good looking knife and it is Stag not Bonestag!

Those were kind of an oddball SFO...may have been made for SMKW.
