I was wondering the same thing. It's even more rare without the stainless stamp.

A lot of #10's had the "S" left off.

Miles' Diver isn't that special. It only has:

1) Tenite handle
2) Extended tang
3) O-1 steel
4) No choil
5) N/S squared off guard
6) Unique Heiser sheath with no keeper strap
7) Original leather thongs
8) Near mint

What's the big deal?

I don't think it is O-1 steel, but is actually stainless steel that is unmarked.
I believe tenite was used from mid-1950’s to mid-1960’s. The “SS” stamp was not used until around 1963, and a year or so later the “SS” was changed to a single “S”. Before that time, there was no marking when stainless was used. Here are two of these earliest stainless markings.

Miles, after looking at your knife a few times, it appears to have a "Flat Grind". Is this possible? Don
