What Does A "C" Stamp On The Blade Signify?

Vaporstang · Mar 22, 2016

I have a Small Classic 2000 knife with a 2007 Birth Date and S30v steel. When I took it apart to clean and grease I noticed a "C" stamped on the blade. What does the "C" signify? I was expecting a "V" or "S".

Thanks!

"C" is for Classic

Hey thanks! We learn new things everyday indeed! Didn't know that there was a C stamped mark...

Thanks nyefmaker! I assume all Classics are S30v?

Mostly Yes. I have seen classics that were BG-42 though. I am unsure if their markings. I am thinking a classic unmarked would be BG-42, while the "C" would be S30V.

I've also had a Classic with a blade marked S, also SV30.

I have three small Classics - I will have to break down the other two and see.

It's possible a "S" is a replacement blade....??? I will have to check the few I have
