Camillus electrician's knife

[Biff Spurlock]

I just found my old Camillus electrician's knife that I thought I had lost. When I say "old," I don't mean antique, just that I've had it for 15 plus years, and it wasn't new when I got it. It's identical to the ones they sell now, but here's my question: On the tang of the spear blade, on the opposite side from where it says "Camillus" and so on, there's a 27. What does this number mean?

Thanx,
Biff
