Older 119 date help plus sheath

[Makael]

Date help. Does the sheath with 119 on the belt loop help date this? Heading to Spa today. I'll post pics.

IDK about the date...but I sure like the lines of that blade. Preston

Is that because of the 119 on the belt strap?

Is that because of the 119 on the belt strap?

The model number on the belt loop and the concave rivet (snap) on the loop occurred only in 1968. When I started putting my two line 100 series collection together I planned on getting all 1968 knives. Of course it didn't quite work out that way, but I did get familiar with the 1968 sheath.

Wow, what a transformation.
Is it me or does the hollow stop towards the tip on that one ?

I believe I see that too. Beautiful knife, great job at the spa.

 

[David Martin]

Yes, the hollow stops about a 1/4- 3/8" before the tip. DM

The knife before spa was complete but had a severe worn patina. But the knife wasn't abused just used. I love the look and feel of this knife. I can't believe it is 50 years old. Grandpa wasnt underknifed back in the day. Great times.

I just put some leather dressing on the flap sheath of a knife which is that one's twin.

Pure gold!
