Keep a thin film of oil on the blade to maintain the finish of the steel.) Case Tru-Sharp (R) surgical stainless steel is a special high-carbon stainless cutlery steel.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE YEAR OF A CASE KNIFE By learning the simple Case Dating System, you can easily determine the date a Case knife was manufactured. In 1970, Case added ten dots beneath the "USA" on the tangs of all knives. As each new year passed, one dot was removed. So, nine dots appeared in 1971, eight in 1972, and so on. In the 1980s, the same dating system was used, with two subtle differences. First, a "lightning S" appeared in both "CASE" and "USA." Secondly, the dots were placed above the "USA." Just like in the 70s, one dot was removed each year. From 1990 to mid 1993, the dot system was replaced with a stamping of the actual date. By popular demand, however, the dot dating system is again being used on all current Case knives.In 2000, Case introduced a new tang date stamp: five X's and five dots. From 2001 through 2005, one dot is removed each year. From 2006 through 2009, an X is removed each yearCondition Descriptions: Pristine mint (Also called Collector's Grade): Knives in this category must be flawless, and must have additional characteristics that set them apart from mint.

Note: A knife that has been heavily buffed would be considered near mint or less depending on how harshly it was cleaned. Near Mint: T must be no major flaws with a near mint k... read more
