Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

It has come to my attention that some of us don't actually know where to get info on the tang stamps. So here it is

Tang Number Chart

Main Blade Identity

0.Wharncliffe
1. Regular Clip
2. Regular Spear
3. Sheep Foot
4. Spey
5. Drop Point/Skinner
6. Sabre Clip
7. Sabre Spear
8. Muskrat Clip
9. Cotton Sampler

For Example:  if the Tang Stamp reads 735208

# 73 = Pattern number     

 5 = the main blade (Drop point/Skinner)

 2 = the knife has 2 blades     

08 =  it was made in 2008

LOL

Something else I should have listed quite some time ago and just did not think about it.  How about yearly production totals

http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/information/

Easy, Miss Jan, look what happen today. We all had fun and presented some good info.

Jan,  Might have been  posted somewhere else, but how many iKC knives were produced?

JJ,

Total production number was 103

Thats awesome JJ.

I love the Remington pocket knife blade choices. 

Just because I refer to this alot and I thought you may need to sometimes also
