I heard back from Anne Reeve today and she cleared this up for me. I told her I would pass along the info because what is out on the web is often very wrong.
She said knives numbered 1 to 1000 were held for legacy purchase, like I did as an old guy. Knives numbered 1001 and up were issued to graduates. By the time funding for the knives stopped in 2014, they had produced over 12,400 of them.
The knives with SF next to the number are the knives they made later for more legacy purchases. She said that now only the honor graduate of the course gets a knife upon graduation and it is one of the legacy knives with the SF label. The Special Forces Association now controls legacy purchases.
