Note from Huxley Walters
The subject Model G was made in Lubbock, TX by Ralph Bone in 1967, just prior to his establishment of Ralph Bone Knife Company with Same Arnett, financial partner.
The first digit (7) of the serial number denotes the production year 1967; that and the serial number facing the handle, instead of blade, are identifiers of that production year. Subsequently, the Ralph Bone Knife Company was formed and all produced knives were made w/ serial numbers stamped facing the blade, until the company was sold to Hipp.
