I am certain in this case "never" is appropriate.

Particularly when the knife is at least a full decade later after the last regular use of the furnace link style disappeared and was supplanted as we all know with the thong hole.

There is always that one in a million chance I suppose, but if a thong was needed by the owner, I venture to say RMK would drill a hole in the butt. I would also venture to say that once RMK settled on an improved method of doing something, going "back" was not in the cards.

I would guess a previous owner wanted a thong and for lack of skill and/or risking hitting the tang, put the link on. Hey, but what do I know.
