Looked around and found this pic on AAPK. Box is labeled 6318. Case must have had some extra 10318 blades. Waste not, want not :)
I think it makes an already cool knife even cooler :cool: 👍

Very cool. Thanks for the picture. I'll update my notations in my files. But I kind of doubt they had extra 10318 blades in CPM 20CV.
This was, afterall, a prototype. So might have been a shop error as the original poster said.

edited to add:
mbkr mbkr It occurs to me that they may have changed their plans on the covers after they had stamped the blade.

Today's carry is
US Schrade Old timer 8OT stockman

The main blade is stiff enough that I need a helper to open it. I have the finger strength, but my finger nails do not, even though I keep them short. But the other blades are about a 5 and those are what I mostly use, so not a problem.

I was wondering about that on mine.
Main is noticably stiffer/heavier than the other two ... About an "8" to "8.5"? after lubing. The other two are a "5".
The three on my hollow bolster Imperial, and Imperial Frontier are all a "5", so I was wondering if my 8OT was "defective" concerning the stiff pull on the main.
I don't need a pick to open it, but it is somewhat disconcerning. Enough so I am more likely to carry one of the Imperials, or my vintage 858, which has a "5" pull on all the blades. I don't particularly like wrestling or fighting with my knife to open it.
