The stamping on the butt of the Pilot Survival knife indicates the year of manufacture. The stamping "6-84" indicates June, 1984. The two holes in the guard can be used to lash the knife to a wooden pole to create a spear. Other features built into this knife include sawteeth that will cut through a plane's fuselage and the butt can be used as a hammer.
