Alox Cadet SAK Info PLEASE!

[black mamba]

I recently acquired a couple of used alox Cadets, in bronze and Kelly green. Both have been used and carried with keys, so have some shiny spots, but are still in great working order. They do have two different sets of tang stamps. Since they were bought second hand, I'm not sure of the age of either one. If anyone is able to give approximate dates or other pertinent info on these two, please let me know. Both knives have the blank back panel, so no other advertising info found there. Thanks in advance!

The one on the right is 2005 or later. The one on the left is earlier. I remember when those color alox cadets were in stores. That copper colored one was very popular and highly sought after at the time.

Supra is correct. The stamp on the left is from 86-05 and the right is 05 to present. On alox models if there is a lowercase v on the tang stamp the era is 75-85, they went to the uppercase V in 86. I'm not as proficient in cadet stampings as I am in the 93mm stamps but I believe they follow the same guidelines except for the stamping on the opposite side.
