Two of the questions in the back of my mind when attempting to date this particular diver:

1. When did RMK start manufacturing "choiled" divers? (this particular tenite diver has no choil - the diver in the catalog above seems to have one)

2. Sheath specs. Specifically, when were the over the guard keeper straps introduced on the sheaths? (vs. the earliest pancake types like this one that only had the rawhide lanyards to hold the handle) Also, how early were the sheaths manufactured with drain holes? (this particular sheath has no drain hole)

If 01 vs SS blades on these models are externally identical, perhaps we can look to the choil/no choil construction and sheath specs to more accurately date the package.

ps. let's see some more diver's!!!
