what the meaning of this mark?

[lachine]

B 00

 

[Scott Dog]

I think it has to do with batch number and date. Batch "B" in year 2000.

 

[Roefisher]

Hello Lachine,

Where's the rest of the knife snaps !?!

EDIT TO ADD By the way, are these knives you're asking us about going to be FOR SALE ?? Or are you just gethering information ??






Mark

 

[lachine]

FOR GETHERING INFOMATION ONLY！

 

[lachine]

“B” represent BG42?

 

[Roefisher]

Hey Lachine,

BEAUTIFUL snaps, man...with a metal piece like that....reverse the screws, immediately :grumpy:



About the date NO,

All stamping is solely for dating purposes and is as follows

A First calender quarter of that year
B Second calender quarter of that year
C Third calender quarter of that year
D Final calender quarter of that year

The 2 numbers are the final two numbers of that year,

So yours was made in the year 2000 {00} during the second calender quarter (B).

That is a COOL knife, sir.

Mark

 

[lachine]

but see this date

 

[Roefisher]

I see what you mean,

The explaination for that is although the knife was manfactured during the second calender quarter - Final completion, ie Graphics and polishing, did not take place until December. That is why December is on the Birthday Card, that's when they completed work on it.

Stamp B 00 takes place at the assembly period. The Birthday Card date is the finish date

Remember to turn the screws !!!

[lachine]

thank you ,sebenza expert

 

[Roefisher]

You are most welcome, Lachine.

By The Way, any CRK forum member could have told you this, and probably more actually . I just happened to be here when you asked.

Hey Lachine....reverse the screws, immediately :grumpy:

finally, someone else has taken up MY cause!

Roefisher, you rule!

 

[Scott Dog]

The date is not for when the knife was made but when the handles were made. The handles were machined earier in the year and assembled later. The mark is for quality control purposes. If you have any problems with the knife several years later and have to send it back, they will know what year and what quarter the slabs were cut and to see if any other slabs cut then had similar problems.

Why the screw turning. Does the titanium bind with the stainless screws?

 

[Scott Dog]

In the Sebenza I don't believe the screws come in to any contact with any titanium with the possible exception of the screw that holds the clip in place.
Oh, I see. CRK puts the Sebenza together with the torx heads on the decorated (or non lock) side and the shiny head on the lock side of the knife. The purpose of this is ease of assembly/disassembly. Some prefer the shiny side of the screws to be on the front or decorated side because it looks nicer and I agree but I don't have a strong preference. If you check out the "how I take apart my Sebenza" sticky you will see what I mean.

 

[spyderknut]

Thank you sir. I guess flipping the screws over to the clip side would also reduce risk of marring on dissassembly.
