And why is 1TH. so far away from SFG/UDT ? If I ordered the knife it would read:

1st SFG(A) ODA-XXX UDT
I don’t know Heffe. Only that 1TH. (even the period “.” is present) is an old and unused way to say 1ST. As in ‘Oneth’.

Do we know when the first Dive Team got created in SF? Do we even know if this instance of SFG means Special Forces Group and this use of SFG is something Navy speak?

I agree that if I had my Randall engraved it would say something about my ODA like you said. My knife looks like shit compared to this one so for a UDT knife it never saw salt water.
