There was an Urban Shiv and a Frisco Shiv. The latter was a Blackie Collins design IIRC. And made by Gerber (?). The Urban Shiv was a Cold Steel design I am pretty sure. And had not been around in the 70s if your date is correct. In fact, I think it was the Collins designed Frisco that was produced in the 70' s.

Is yours a small sleeve type dagger? I have seen these go for aout $50+ a few years ago.
