Tang Stamps
In 1970, Case added ten dots beneath the U.S.A. on all knife tangs. Each year a dot was removed.
The same dating system was used during the 1980s. The differences are the “lightning” form of the letter S in Case and USA and the fact that the dots were put above the USA.

From 1990 to mid-1993, the actual date was stamped on the tang.

The dot system was used again from mid-1993 through 1999.
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 year.

The 2010 Tang Stamp design again features five X’s and five dots. From 2011 through 2015, one dot is removed for each year. From 2016 through 2019, an X is removed each year.

The 2020 Tang Stamp design goes back to the original 10 dots without a Long Tail C. From 2021 through 2029, one dot is removed for each year.

Knives Gerber designs and manufactures a variety of fixed, folding, assisted opening, and automatic opening knives for a range of activities. Hunting, survival, tactical, and everyday carry – a Gerber blade has you covered. Using the 1988 year as an example: F3523S - H4854S indicates that the serial numbers for 1988 start at F3523S and go up to F9999S then switch to H0000 and end at H4854S. So (F9999S - F3523S + 1) = 6477 and (H4854S - H0000S + 1 ) = 4855. Therefore 6477 'F' knives + 4855 'H' knives gives the total knives made that year as 11,332.

Pattern Stamps

Over the course of Case’s long history, literally hundreds of different knife patterns have been created. To help our collectors identify the various patterns, we developed a unique numbering system. What kind of Case do you own? You can find the Case knife pattern number stamped on the tang of your knife’s blade. This number tells you exactly what kind of knife you have. The first number indicates the type of material used to make the handle. The second digit gives the number of blades. The last two or more digits indicate the factory pattern number.

Product Description

Gerber Knife Serial Number Lookup Online

We just acquired this very nice Gerber Command II (w/steel) knife. Gerber manufactured the Command II knife from 1980-85. They were made similar in design to the Gerber Mark II but featured a single edge with the top tip of the blade serrated. The is an early version with serial #004280. The sheath is proper to the knife and features the optional Gerber marked sharpening steel. The sheath is in Mint, unused Condition. There is one diagonal line down the bottom front part of the steel pouch showing a slight indention in the leather, but not sure if this was man / storage made or is just part of the natural leather uniqueness. The Command II knife handle shows no signs of any paint loss and is in mint condition. The knife blade except for some ever so slight small scratches near the tip of the blade remains in unused condition. It appears someone at some time just could not resist the temptation to run the tip of the blade across the sharpening steel, not a uncommon occurrence. The knife in total in in excellent + to near Mint condition and appears to have never been carried or used as the blade retains its factory edge. With a relatively low number of these knifes being manufactured, they are becoming harder to find then the Gerber Mark II’s. NOTE: If the scratches on the blade are a concern they could easily be removed with some light sanding with 600 paper.
