Sorry for the late post, Tune / Boomer. That long shallow choil (Sometimes with a sharp radii) was seen in some knives that were circa 1960. Here are pics of a few more:





There may have been one grinding guy with his own idea of what a choil should look like.

The compass in my mid-1960's Model 7 works just as well now as when I bought it.
