looking for info on these knives...CR & Lile

[chris1970]

Anyone familiar with these? front blade of Chris Reeve is stamped 133, blade is 7" long, back of blade is stamped "Made in South Africa"... back of sheath is stamped 7"C... I'm just guessing that refers to blade length right....Lile blade is 7" long also, no other markings on sheath or blade. Here's the link....

Hello friend the Chris Reeves one piece knife in your photo is a discontinued Shadow II made in South Africa, prior to April 1987 since it has a 7" Spearpoint blade. If it was a 7" Clippoint blade it would be labeled as a Mark V. Also if it had a 7" Clippoint blade with a sawback spine it would then be a Mark IV.

Beautiful knife,

regards,

Jules

Pretty sure that the Lile is / was called a "Misfit". Do not see too many of them.
