Are the knives currently shipping with the new anniversary medallion on the handle that reads '1964 50 Years'??

Bought mine on 3/9 from amazon as the vendor and it arrived with the medallion on it.

Yes they are shipping..... I am looking at mine right now and that is exactly what it says..... 1964 50 years with an image of the knife opened

The "seller" has changed at least 3 times on this item in the last 10 days. This question can't be asked/answered without specifying a seller name.

The knife I ordered said that it would have the medallion on it but the knife I got did not!!! It was the reason I ordered it in the first place. Still a very good knife

I difer to the previous two response I just went back on GP{ Knives and they too have chnaged the steel type to 5160. So it probably depends on how old the knife is. It looks like if you buy one now you get 5160.

So far as I can tell, no, but it looks almost identical and if what is said about that one is correct, it is perhaps a very good copy of it or maybe cck just puts a custom handle on essentially the same knife and sells it as the 1303.

Dale, I actually got this set for my grandson for Christmas, but I've been using the same exact set since 1967. Of course, the case is long gone as are the orginal blades, but I'm hoping the knives themselves are the same high quality metal construction all around, chucks included. The only plastic you should see evident would be the red handle on the big knife, which comes in handy when you attach a miter saw blade, not included with this set, but a great accessory to have. Hope this helps. If you decide to get this set, I think you'll be pleased with these knives. Mine have given me almost half a century of use and I could have passed them on to my grandson, but hey, I'm not done with them yet. ;-)

No. They are a bit different then my original set of 15 years ago. The logo doesn't look authentic. The silver is different. The depth of the spoons are different. But, overall its a good knock off if you need to add to your existing set.

The one's that we currently have in stock...DO have old hickory stamped on the handle and printed on the blade...

I'm not sure because on the knife didn't print or mark to said where it has been made & It's package has been thrown away. As a Shipping/Receiving; I have a change to use it everyday. It's so solid; sturdy & beautiful too. If you looking for this kind of utility knife, I suggest that you should pick this knife instead of going with difference Brand/Type of knife.

The Knife will have Ka Bar Logo and USA stamped into the metal. There should be Official literature from Ka Bar; about the knife and history with the company. The knife will also be a full tang knife...it does not mean much but a quality that does separate itself. My knives have all been authentic.

The only way to know, would be if you either knew the date it was made, or if you got someone to examine the knife before shipping. Since this is Amazon, I can tell you that's unfortunately not going to happen, sorry. I can tell you that at least some Amazon customers, beginning in December, have received the adjustable pivot Manix 2 Translucent, but that's no guarantee.

Nope says china on the box (well at least mine) however you are quite correct about the Schrade being American. There older much more collectible knives were/are US made. Ultimatesurvivaltips is and advertising channel for anyone dumb enough to send him a freebee to review. I also brought my SCHF9 after watching his review and now do not listen to one word he has to say. He doesn't even know the difference between "550 paracord" and the real miltary history of 550 paracord. Watch Josh James Kiwi Bushman for real advice.

I got lucky and got one of the old ones with the silver on the outside, although the case-wrapper-sheath is black and had me worried there for a bit. The manufacturer says he is changing them over on a rolling basis. He should make a different SKU number for such an important change. And Amazon should enforce that.

The reason they're stamped USMC is because of the history of the knife's development and use. It was introduced in WWII and has changed little since. It's a great knife, I've had one since 1993 when I entered service with the USMC and have used it as a blade, hammer, pry bar, digging tool, screw driver and even learned to throw with it. It's not disrespectful as it's not a uniform item, just a great knife with great history.

The back is exactly like the front. The spoon is a normal size, not extra large and the knife is solid. I had a set from 25 years ago and lost several pieces. I loved them because of the weight and they fit nicely in your hand. So, I ordered one of these sets when I saw them online. They are a nice weight, etc., and seem to be holding up except they are gradually getting darker - or so it seems. They are slightly darker than my older pieces. I guess it's a different grade...

hello. Yes these knives were brand new. Great knives too...I've used them for the last 2 years and are excellent.

I believe it is the us army knife, WWII era. I could be wrong, if have to take a look at it; as it is put up.

They appear fine to me. I have only had them since December 2014 but they remind me of the set my mother got for a wedding present (they have been married 46 years) so I think the markings will be fine. The only concern I have is the welding. The first time I used the 1 cup the handle broke off. When I requested an exchange it was no fuss no muss. I sent the broken one back and they sent me a new one. I hope this helps.
