Nice knife, Capt. Chris
PS: Floyd Byrd was doing all of the shop's outsourcing at this time period. I remember the knurling started early enough (Pretty sure) to be in line with my dates...Hope this helps, Capt. Chris


My reference guide states the shop offered the Knurled handle as an option in 1984.
