Rollcall: South African fixed blades serial numbers

[JoeW]

I thought a lowest serial number roll call of a South African made fixed blades would be interesting. I will throw mine in the ring:

I'm sure I won't beat the likes of Jules, but I'll play. Shadow II #40.

I too have a #40, but in the Sable 1?

Nice -- your Sable I is about a year older than my Shadow II.

Lowest for me was a Mark IV that was the 87 knife made in South Africa
Made last part of 1985 as per Ann during the "Rambo" craze
Had a total re/furbish done in "Camo" including a new sheath, It was sweet
Sure wish I had it today, But we all know how that goes :yawn: Rick :yawn:

How do you identify a knife made in SA? Where they all marked as such on the knife and/or sheath, or did some knives have numbers only? Thanks,

So it is SA if it is numbered with or without SA stamped on the blade, as long as it doesn't say USA? Thanks,
