The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel

Stampings of the Cutlery Industry.

Arguably, the easiest & most frequently used method for dating cutlery.

Do you have a unique/rare stamping ??

Care to share a pic & a bit of history ??

Just as important ... a stamping that's just a little (or, a lot) suspect.

You are correct sir!!
1977=A
So, this one is 1987ish....

I got it because I used to have a Crosman 760 bb gun when I was a kid....

Here is an interesting stamping... this was a Utica cutlery knife. From my research, made in Bolivia but stamped Czechoslovakia.
Made sometime before 1920 when Utica started production in Germany.
