They were introduced in 1997.
The original box would have been dated.
They come in a variety of common and exotic handles.

Thanks Tim. I wish I had the box but I am not that lucky. Would you wish to hazard a guess on the type of wood used?

Thanks Tim. I thought it looked like Maple but I was not sure. They really are nice, well made knives. I consider my self lucky to have it for sure. I may try to take some pictures of it in the sun light. I appreciate your knowledge.

They are extremely nice in my opinion.
Here is a 1997 with Amboyna burl handles.
The lower knife is a pre Monolith in elk. It's less contoured and a little beefier.
