1963 is a bit early, as black micarta even in its earliest form was not yet being used.

I would put this knife late 64 at the very earliest, but I don't think that early, but probably 1965. I have had several that retained the hump as did the 18's for some time after introduction.

Note the etched logo, which I brought to the attention of the purchaser. It is a Solingen blade yet etched Orlando. May be the only one I recall seeing.

While these Solingen14's with teeth/hump aren't super common, they are out there. The rarest are the Orlando blades with teeth that retain the 14 grind.

I had a mid 60's example many years ago. If I knew how to post photos here, I would do so.
