Hi all
I finally got a Military. It was used but in excellent condition. This particular knife is in ATS-34, has engraved info on blade, and has a 2 screw stainless clip.
Can anyone tell me when this one was made?

Questions on used Military model
I remember a post concerning changes to the Military model on this forum maybe a month or two ago. There have been quite a few changes I think (all fairly minor though). I dont remember the post stating dates or anything, but you might want to do a search and see if you can find it.
here's a short list of the changes (as far as I can remember)
*ATS-34 -> CPM-440C
*2 Screw Clip -> 3 Screw clip
*Silver clip -> Black clip (?)
*Grooves where the thumb ramp is and on the choil originally, on the latest ones, there are grooves on the thumb ramp but not on the choil area.
*Seems like later ones are made with tighter tolerances that gave a more secure lockup. Not sure about that one...
Those are probably all wrong.
