The real deal S30V?

[zanussi01]

Ok folks,just got this in the post earlier today.
Just wanting to know if she's the real deal?
The lack of a date code is my major issue with this as everything else looks good.
Did some of these escape the mothership with no date codes?
Any help much appreciated,thankyou.

Yes, these do not have date codes… I just checked a matching Buck 105 I have like this (red micarta, S30V) and it is the same way.

I believe these were copper and clad exclusives… you can see the matching 102 still for sale the same way here:

If that is model 0119RDSSH-B, then it is legit. Copper and Clad had many exclusive knives with no date codes.

Thankyou very much for this info.
I was sure she was legit,but the lack of date code was a concern.

I picked one of these up somewhere last year that had serious damage to the handle.
It was etched with the 2016 date code.
Could have sent it to Buck,but ended up giving to Billabong01 for her to rehandle.
She put a very nice Stag handle on it.
