My Wife got me a birthday gift

Knives:

Nice!

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of different LM Cores do you have in the top left of your first drawer? Different year codes?

I also only recognize two of the LM Freestyle versions in the same drawer, what is the right most one with the slightly different color?

-Wes.
Work EDC: LM Raptor/Bladeless Pioneer X Mod

Weekend EDC: LM Free P2 or Vic Pioneer X/Vic Rambler/Olight I1R EOS Pro Ti/ Atwood R37Pry

These days I focus on collecting oddball Pharmacy/Medical Advert Victorinox Classics.

-Wes.

Cores in the drawer:

Stainless:

0505 - Lined up nail nicks
0505
0705 - Date under straight blade upside down
1106
0707 - Date under straight blade upside down
0707
1107
0708
0109
0409
0509
0709 - Lined up nail nicks
1009 - Lined up nail nicks

BO:

0505
0609 - Lined up nail nicks
1009 - Lined up nail nicks

BO with cap crimper:

1108 - Date under straight blade upside down


I have a few more floating around the garage and glove boxes that I use with different year codes.
I still want to get one with a NATO serial number it...someday...

As to the Freestyle's, I'm not sure what the difference is. Materials used at different manufacturing times perhaps? They do have an obvious change in font size between them though:
