LOL! I was thinkin' more along the lines of a burglar Dan, but now that you mention it, a visit from an angry Customs agent could be in the making due to my using the shipping loophole to get my autos to me, although realistically it would be our federal police, the RCMP! I'm on the 2nd floor of a high-rise so porch pirates aren't a concern, and I left all the nefarious characters in my life in the dust many years ago! LOL!

I believe (with a very few exceptions) the tang stamp designs used on both the Alox and traditionals (with the exception of some size blades) followed the same time frame. According to this site,https://elsinox.com/.cm4all/mediadb/.20 ... cture-2600 it was 2011 when the tang stamp went to the one in your photo.Dan In MI wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 4:12 pmThanks for posting that photo, Smitty. I suspect that's an old photo, as the V seems to have reverted back to being the same size as the other letters. Another possibility is that my eyes are playing tricks on me. (Assuming my eyes are okay, the change probably occurred around 2011, in line with the 91mm models.) This is the tang stamp on my recently purchased Pioneer carrier.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 6:00 am Here is a photo of the tang stamps from sakhome.com, showing mark side and pile side of the master blade.

That is a great testimonial! At that rate, I'll be carrying that Pioneer well into my 90s.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 2:02 pm I have a friend who is a contractor and bought his (Victorinox Farmer) new in early 1970's. He still uses it on a daily basis.

There's some good info in this thread, and what to avoid.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
It must be Barrett Tool season. I fished this old beat up one out the bay recently. Always like the looks of them and finally found one I could afford. Blade well used but all parts there. HHH on the handle. Thanks for looking.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
I ordered this Brother 1502G Lockback over a month ago and it just got here today.
It wasn't the USPS that was slow, it was actually on that slow boat from China. The knife is tight and solid. Zero movement from the blade when open. All seams are perfectly matched. The black linen Micarta handles are very smooth so you need to make sure you have a good grip on the knife. Very sharp edge....shaveable. Is that a word? My only concern is the hard plastic red spacers that serve as the liners. Will it stand the test of time and use....???

Looks good David. Glad it finally arrived for you. The micarta handle knives that I carry seem to wear in some after I carried and used them for a while. So maybe yours will also.dlr110 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 12:03 am I ordered this Brother 1502G Lockback over a month ago and it just got here today.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
I received a few this week. Took time today to post them. First one I picked up from Scott aka TripleF. A Uncle Henry Schrade + LB5. Great blade, no wobble, positive lock, and good snap . Added it to my other wood handle EDC group. Picked it up along with a Craftsman automotive inspection mirror. Both have already been put to use. Thanks Scott.
Next I fished this one off the Bay. A Schrade Walden 219 3-1/8" Serpentine Jack. Schrade Walden N.Y. U.S.A. tang stamp (pre 1973) , Schrade Shield, with Clip master and pen secondary blade. Very little use, full blades and great snap. A nice little addition to my Schrade Walden Family.
Next, to go with my Craftsman Family, a Craftsman 9470 4 inch closed Stock Knife. This one was made by Ulster for sears. It has the Red jigged composite handles. It has the oval Craftsman shield without the Crown. It has the Craftsman USA tang stamp with the model number which puts this knife around 1960 or '61. Blades are full, have staining & scratches but are not pitted. All blades are tight, no wobble, and have excellent snap.
Lastly, another Camillus to add to my Steelie Knives. A Double line Camillus Tang Stamp single clip blade WHAT-A-knife. Stainless Steel build throughout, Blade has very little use excellent snap with positive half stop. Don't know why, but I love those Camillus Steelies.
