My new Sebenza is 4 years old?

If it is new and unused it doesn't make a difference.

No I paid full retail for it, but it is new. I suppose with a knife like this, as long as it isn't used, it wouldn't make much difference.

As stated, it is new old stock. The vendor must have purchased the knife that long ago and it just never sold. As far as what you paid for it, CRK have a fixed price. That is why they basically cost the same no matter where you buy them.
Why would you think the knife is used or of lesser quality due to the date on the card?

Its not like its sour old milk or anything. A knife doesnt really age much in box. In fact, Id be super happy it didnt have the new Idaho Made stamp on it.
