Date Code on Box
Date Code on Box
I just picked up a new Paramilitary 2 and the Date Code is 1348. Does anyone know how to decipher this? Great knife by the way. So far my largest in my collection.
The date code goes like this: A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5 and so on. The first letter is the month and the second letter is the year.
AA would be January, 2001. AB = January, 2002. BA = February, 2001.
I wonder what they did for the year 2000 and before, like 1999.

Wonder what they will do in 2027?
Re: Date Code on Box
Is it possible to set the date using this code?

I don't think so, but if you show us some pictures of your knife we can probably narrow it down for you.

Re: Date Code on Box
I thought maybe the code would help find out the exact date. Judging by the knife, it was produced in the period 1995-1997. There is no word “Earth” in the indication of the place of production on the blade. In what year did the inscription "Earth" appear? 1997?

Re: Date Code on Box
Someone else can chime in. The extent of my knowledge of the Renegade C23 is that this one was made in the years you suggested. It is marked GIN-1 on the blade and that with the box makes me think 1994-1995. However, I am not anything close to an authority.

Re: Date Code on Box
Yes, such a knife could have been produced in 1994, but the following piece of paper was included in the box of mine
Below date - June 1995. Perhaps this is the date of birth of the knife. Perhaps such a piece of paper was printed in June 1995 and was included in all boxes until the end of production in 1997.

Re: Date Code on Box
Yeah, so it could be late 1995 or so. I think that box says no later than 1997. The paper says 1995. The knife was made between late 1995 and 1997.
Someone with more expertise needs to chime in.
