Holzinger258 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 1806 Loc: The Desert Southwest	I don't think it is O-1 steel, but is actually stainless steel that is unmarked. I believe tenite was used from mid-1950’s to mid-1960’s. The “SS” stamp was not used until around 1963, and a year or so later the “SS” was changed to a single “S”. Before that time, there was no marking when stainless was used. Here are two of these earliest stainless markings. -Steve Attachments 33578--stamps.jpg (769 downloads)

Don_Hedrick Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/20/05 Posts: 313	Miles, after looking at your knife a few times, it appears to have a "Flat Grind". Is this possible? Don _________________________ Don Hedrick NRA Life Member RKS# 1797
