A couple of newbies (to me) both 7" blades, both have thong holes. Both blades 1" wide. One stamped on the blade flat, one not. Here's the,question ... Which one is oldest? They gotta be close
I don't know the answer, an argument could be made for either. I beleive it stands to reason that the difficulty of fitting the stamp on the ricasso led to blade placed stamps, then to a smaller stamp. That's my guess!
*added text* After going through a couple of books, all chain link fighters arrears stamped on the blade. So much fo my theory, huh?
