I've got folders I purchased in the mid 90s, and a couple of fixed blades that I purchased in the 80s. I guess my earliest "modern" folder is a Kershaw 1550 (Blackout), purchased circa 1997 (maybe '98?)
It's an ugly thing. Covered in scratches. All stainless. No beveling or shaping on the scales at all. Just a blade and two slabs of steel. It opens like a 200 year old door with no oil, but it locks up true.
