Megan,
Colonial kept very few records that would be available to us for dating the products. We often rely on the memory of the cutlers and owners. In reading through a thread on AAPK I was able to find that this tang was used from the 60's through at least 1995. I am still searching to see if I can find the patent number on the knife itself, that will narrow down the number of years.
