Ron, Ron, Ron:
"THAT'S" why I stated I didn't "quite" agree with your dating. Older or newer, especially without seeing better pics of the package including the back of the sheath, I wouldn't/couldn't get so date-specific.
Best (and yes: It "is" good to see you posting),
Capt. Chris
PS: Perry calls on me, Crutch and several of us old "crusties"...CCS
