Are the ones in stock as of now (2014) the ones without the handle stamped "old hickory" and the pattern on the blade?

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

The one I received had no print on the blade, however I have seen some that do

Yes, they are engraved, or as someone said, "stamped" on the handle. They are very nice!!

The one I ordered had a wood handle pictured and that's what I received. I think you'd be happy with any of the Mora knives. This is my first one, but at these prices, it won't be my last!

I am pretty sure they stopped making the older models. I couldn't find the older ones anyway. This one does have more power and is a very good knife. I think it is expensive but still a great knife.

I was wondering the same thing. The photo they chose makes it look like a Chinese counterfeit, since it doesn't have any of the official stamps on the blade.

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.

Yes - Youl will have to vist the manufacturers website (or search on amazon.com a little bit more) to buy a replacement handle. I think there are more cold steel products that use this particular wooden handle.

The packaging may have changed. The Blades I am using appear exactly as the picture. They where purchased early in 2014. I would suggest contacting the manufacture http://www.personna.com/ Send them a picture of what you have received. They will be able to identify if it is there product. Sincerely, TG

I don't think so...I have a set from my wedding 16 years ago and it is marked "18/10 stainless" on the handles. These new ones are just marked "stainless steel" and have a bit of a lighter weight than the older ones. Not a significant difference from the old ones though and the pattern is exactly the same.

I don't think it matters if it is stamped on the blade or handle as long as it's some where within the package or contents. They're great knives though I work in a production kitchen and a buffet line haven't had a single issue or discomfort :)

I just bought a new one to modify, I checked it with some of the older ones I own of which a few are so old they have lost the original shape from being sharpened so many times over the years. They are all the same thickness and I think some of them are from the first mfg. runs. They make for a good bush craft knife with some mods. Hope this helps you.

can't tell if you are asking if you need them or where to get them. have used mine for years and haven't needed to get new ones. if you need new ones or want different shapes, Demand Product manufactures the hot knife and makes a variety of blades for it. try http://www.demandproducts.com/Hobby-and-Craft-items/item.php?=&sku;=GROUPHKTCRBLADE

I'm using Amazon app on my phone, I dint have the same view you have. My knife came dark hickory handle and the blade has grooves in it. When it came the blade was shinier and almost silver, after wash and oil with veg oil it looks more like traditional carbon steel. This is the knife my grandma had.

i hear they all ship with plain blades since last year. A few people have put that in the reviews that it is in fact a plain blade . SOG stopped shipping then in 2012. Its a great knife . I also like the ZT 170 there are some deals out there for 100 shipped. check it out.
