I need help!!!

Not really just a question.... What year did CRK start putting the dates inside the scales on the Sebenza's?.

Why do you ask, grasshopper? Did you find something?



The earliest date stamp I've seen is B97. The P's and numbered Regulars didn't have a stamp, and I once had a Seb from March 1997 (hello Dan) that didn't have any date stamps. My conclusion would be that B97 is probably the earliest, but CR or someone who has a knife between March and August 1997 would have to verify.

No,.......It's one I already have.

Steve, here's a datum. Small regular, DOB 8/28/97, no date stamps on either scale.

That's good info. Thanks :thumbup:.

I'm really starting to wonder if, originally, the "A-B-C" marks were for batches instead of relating directly to any particular period of time. I believe that the current procedure is by quarter (A=Jan,Feb,Mar; B=Apr,May, Jun; etc.)

You rang

That is my understanding of sebs as well. The earliest knife in my collection is 1997 and is stamped as such.
