Case Sodbuster date code

[SElliott]

I've got an unusual date code on this Case Sodbuster. The script shows it to be a 70's era, but it has two rows of dots instead of a single line. Understanding it's a second year of the series due to being 9 dots, I'm not identifying the decade. Any help is always appreciated.

Actually, 2021. I think Case only used the "tang stamp" for a year or two on the current generation before switching to laser etched stamps.

Scroll down through the stamps by decade to find yours.

My stamp isn't like any exactly listed in any decade. The S is not the lightning S and the dots are in two rows..

The standard “s” is the designator for carbon steel blades. The “lightning s” designates stainless steel. As for the two rows of dots, look again at the link in my prior post. Scroll down to the bottom and look at the 2020 decade stamp pictured there. It’s the same as the stamp on your knife. Or alternatively see this link to the Case web site https://www.casecollectorsclub.com/college/tang-stamps/
