This^^^I think having a birthdate is important for a number of reasons, some of which were listed above. Another reason is to document evolution of Chris Reeve knives. It's nice to look back at he history and see how and when things have changed. It is also helpful when trying to determine when materials were used (BG42 vs S30V for instance).
I used to be into art when I was younger. Whenever I'd finish a piece I would sign and date the work. I think of Chris Reeve knives as works of art.
Some people like to have the knife made the same day of something significant in their life. It may be a birthday,marriage etc.
^^^ its also nice to know when the knife was made. Some people like my self like buying the latest and greatest so anything made in 2013 is a pluss.
Are the knives completely built in one day?
