I have seen several like it. The "SS" is etched not stamped.

So the "etched" and "SS" is a two part rarity? How many were produced in this manner?

I agree Joe, I have seen double S etches, it's the placement on that on that is unusual.

SS marked knives were only made for a short period in 1963, maybe 6 +/- months. The etching isn't necessarily a huge deal. Stainless wasn't a super popular option back then, so a blade was forged and either a weak stamp was polished out or, it was simply neglected and lack of SS stamp was caught before it was shipped and etched.

I am trying to determine the correct sheath for both of these knifes. If someone could confirm my research it would be great. For the 1963 3-6 knife I am finding a Randall stamped sheath without the 3-6 model stamps with plane button? What stone should be with it?(I found a stag handle knife for sale made the same year)

And the model 1-7 it should be basically the same sheath produced today?
