I'm in no way qualified to say, but the knife sure looks newer than the sheath. Is it just me? How about a shot of the front of the sheath?

The #84"S" was used, from time-to-time but not the norm. I, also, would have to see the front. Sometimes a handle-wrapped keeper strap was requested. The finger grips had nothing to do with it. Johnson roughbacks were the standard sheath provider even when finger grips were still being offered on 3/16" knives. The elimination of providing finger grips on smaller stock took place well after Sullivans was the sole supplier of Randall's sheaths.
Best, Capt. Chris

My guess was mid 1980's.

A "diagonal" keeper strap would have been stamped, simple 84. The "handle-wrapped" keeper predicated the "S". Nice knife and sheath combination.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: The normal sheath that would have been given this knife...

My apologies for the photos above. I guess I am going to have to play with my white balance. The knife, along with the sheath, is no longer available. It has:
* Dressed stag
* All blue spacers (They look black in the photo)
I think both knives are late 1980's. (At least I know that mine is)...Here's older photos, showing the blue spacers better.

That would be "handmade" not home made.
