Doug, all the blades were made in batches, Bowie's a little less than the standards, but then etched with the KIT just before shipping out...there really is no way of telling who forged them back then as the personnel changed frequently...

Not all of the employees start in the forge first anymore, we place them where they are needed at that time...if the forge is running well with current employees we'll set them where needed. Of course sometime during the first few years they may be placed there for a short period to learn how to grind as I was for about a week, but I also never worked in the forge to learn the ropes there...
