Yeahhhh! What Joe said.

Okay Joe, cut me some slack for the stupid question. ;-) As soon as I would have suggested something like that, someone would have then pointed out how every now and then (maybe alternating St. Patrick's days or every third leap year or whenever Bo when trout fishing or killed a bear or whatever) Randall would make them this way. Or maybe the Keebler elves would kill a bottle of scotch and occupy the shop in the wee hours of the night and churn out magic killer throwing stars or jumbo mini folding knives with upside down separate S stamps. If I have learned anything from you RMK gurus it's that there are always exceptions to the rules.

I like Jim's explanations the best! Seem much more plausible...

narrow stilettos that were originally forged and ground like that disappeared after WWII. By the mid to late 40's the blade grinds were somewhat standardized within normal variations.

As always, thanks for the information Joe. There's a lot to learn.

Jim, just so you know and you probably already know that my comment was a jab at Joe. I gotta jab Joe! I'm just like you....I didn't know anything about that knife other than I thought it was older than 1967.

Sooooo that's probably not a good thing?

correct.

I'm crushed Ronnie -- thought you know all there is to know man! ;-)

No I do not know a lot about everything but I do know a little about a lot of things...however it will not pay for my coffee at the coffee shop.
